Sheese, did you ever hear of reading the directions. Being safe doesn't
mean that extreme abuse can't cause problems. You don't breath it, you
apply it to your skin.


No kidding.
I did not breathe it.
Repeat - I did not breathe it. In fact I clearly recall being extra careful
about inhaling any.

All I did was very sparsely mist my clothing as I am very cautious about
using such products.

The tone of your (very offensive) post implied that I walked underneath a
waterfall of the stuff with my mouth wide open.
As it was I was wearing long sleeves, long trousers, *and* a hat, . Off for
an early AM dog run just hoping to deter the critters a tad.
I hate to think what would of become of me home alone had I applied it to my
skin as directed.

Is this truly the first case of extreme DEET sensitivity you have heard of?
I assure you it does exist.
