Hello:

Have a question re DEET.
[...]

Any other repellents "worth" trying ?

Check the last two issues of Consumer Reports. They checked
two less toxic formulations that they found as effective as
DEET. Most recently, it was a product called REPEL that
contains lemon eucalyptus.

Lemon Eucalyptus is supposed to be only as effective as lower
concentrations of DEET. Picaridin may be the other chemical they were
talking about and it is supposed to be as effective as equal
concentration of DEET, but it only comes in formulations of 7%.
