And this is part of what Choice says:
"But choosing the lowest DEET concentration that still suits your purpose is recommended, because it can cause problems such as dermatitis, especially if used in large quantities for an extended period of time. In rare cases, it has been linked to encephalopathy and death, mainly in children who had been exposed to excessive and prolonged use."
I'm trying to contact a well known environmental toxicologist from Murdoch Uni, you'll recognise his name Chris, to get his opinion.
