According to a bulletin issued by the EPA in 1989, less
than 10 reports of adverse side effects are received annually,
and most of these stem from repeated use on children, which
manufacturers like Tender Corporation strongly advise against.
Beginning in 1985, a consortium of companies that manufacture and
market products with DEET began conducting DEET health-effects
studies, including short-term, long-term and human exposure
studies. To date, 34 such studies have been done and no
unreasonable adverse effects to people or the environment have
been found from the suggested use of DEET.
