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.


Who makes it?



Looks like WPC Brands, Inc. www.repel.com. They make DEET formulations, as
well as the one with just botanical ingredients. The site shows a happy
fisherman, not getting bitten by bugs. It must be true, or they couldn't
suggest such a thing. :-)
