What is your opinion about DEET?!


Question:

What is your opinion about DEET?

I've heard that it causes cancer but also that it is safe if used as directed. Do you recommend using insect repellants with DEET in them or not? Thanks.


Answers:

I recommend using DEET especially if you are in an area that has west nile virus or malaria. DEET is very safe and can't get past the skin, it is carcinogenic if swallowed in large amounts.
