DEET
Each year, approximately one third of U.S. population uses insect repellent containing DEET
(N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) . DEET is currently used in more than 230 products in concentration up to 100%.Studies by Duke University Medical Center shows DEET causes brain cells death and behavioural changes after frequent and prolonged use.
Memory loss, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, shortness of breath and headache are some of the symptons of heavy exposure to DEET. Of course, these symptons will only show up years later. By then, it may be to late to treat.
"Of course, short term exposure to DEET does not cause any harm but it is best not to use any products that contains more than 30% DEET concentration. Furthermore, a combination of DEET and other chemicals are more dangerous than DEET alone", quote Duke University Medical Center Pharmacologist Dr Abou-Donia.
Dr Abou-Donia also warns not to put a material containing DEET onto infant's or child's skin.
