When reactions to DEET are reported, they are generally
limited to eye irritation from inadvertent exposure to the eyes
and infrequent skin reactions from sensitive individuals. "The
bottom line is that DEET repellents can be used confidently by
following label instructions," says Bush. "In a study by the
American Association of Poison Control Centers, only 0.16 of 1%
of calls made to the Poison Control Centers over a five-year
period involved DEET products. Of those, the majority were
inconsequential. And of these few reported calls, no correlation
was found between the number or severity of reported incidents
and the concentration of DEET in products."
