Is DEET a dangerous neurotoxicant?

Pest Management Science, 2019
AbstractControversies surrounding the safety of N,N‐diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET) when used as an insect repellent are centered around conflicting findings in the scientific literature and inaccurate reporting in the public media. Lethal cases of DEET poisoning are few, and usually due to deliberate or other overdoses that ignore product label ...

Degradation of DEET by ozonation in aqueous solution

Chemosphere, 2009
This study was undertaken in order to understand the factors affecting the degradation of an insect repellent, N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) by ozonation. Kinetic studies on DEET degradation were carried out under different operating conditions, such as varied ozone doses, pH values of solution, initial concentrations of DEET, and solution ...

Ocular Toxicity of Diethyltoluamide (Deet)

Journal of Toxicology: Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 1984
AbstractThe ocular toxicity following topical application (10, 30, 100 μl) of 100% DEET, 100% ethanol, and 80% ethanol-20% DEET was evaluated by measuring corneal thickness, area of corneal epithelial damage by fluorescein staining, and corneal reepithelialization. These measurements were compared to the standard toxicological techniques presently used

Repellency of deet to nymphs of Triatoma infestans

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2000
Summary The repellency of N,N‐diethyl‐3‐methylbenzamide (deet) to Triatoma infestans (Klug) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) was evaluated using third‐instar nymphs and a video tracking technique.

Bullous Reaction to Diethyl Toluamide (DEET)

Archives of Dermatology, 1969
A baffling bullous eruption in the antecubital fossae of military personnel had occurred during several summers in South Vietnam. Appearing first after a night's sleep in the field, large blisters, subsequent severe skin necrosis, and prolonged disability were characteristic.
