Deet causes all kinds of issues, not to be used on kids!

i have an emergency supply but i never use it on adults either , rather suffer a couple bites if possible not but dont use anything on my skin these days as its a semipermeable membrane i do not wish penetrated anymore , i feel the same of things we ingest for pains and such , i use nothing as long as i can get away with it , only when my back goes out of place on a weekend and i cant get to the doc till monday do i consider and aspirin , advil , tylinol and such , then i rotate them so i dont load up on any one item - i can limp by till i get it fixed , 

so far no drugs at all , im hop[ing to keep it that way till i go in my sleep [hopefully] or whatever

How does DEET affect the nervous system?
Deet interferes with the normal breaking down of acetylcholine (ACh), the most common neurotransmitter in the central nervous system

While I was in the army they issued us a product call Nero it was 99% Deet with a carrier, always made us sick.

I went moose hunting in northern Manitoba several years ago in early September. Unseasonably warm. I have NEVER seen mosquitoes like that and I was raised in Petawawa and Shilo! Thank God I had my 95% DEET! Even the guys with Deep Woods Off were begging me to share! It also works pretty good on ticks, but took the finish off a Ruger No1 I owned back then.

The best mossie repellent I ever found isn't a mosquito repellent at all.

"Avon Skin So Soft Original Body Lotion with Jojoba"!

I'm not sure if they are still around, but in the 70's working on the railway they supplied Amway bug repellent. It seemed pretty good.
