By now you are probably well aware of what DEET is, and what it does. However, although you are a DEET-lover, there is much information that you do not know. Please take the time to get informed:
DEET is an abbreviation for Meta-N N-diethyl toluamide, which is an insect-repellent chemical. It is intended to be applied to the skin or to clothing, and is primarily used to protect against insect bites. In particular, DEET protects against tick bites (which transmit Lyme disease) and mosquito bites (which transmit dengue fever, West Nile fever and malaria). DEET effectively "blinds" the insect's senses so the biting/feeding instinct is not triggered by humans or animals which produce these chemicals.
The best thing is that DEET is ACTUALLY CAPITALIZED!
Have a DEETerrific day and please leave us posts of your favorite times spent with DEET.
