DEET 100% skin repellent

Undiluted DEET offers no meaningful tick-protection advantage over 30-50% formulations and increases skin and gear damage.

Steps

  1. 01
    Generally avoid 100% DEET for everyday use; choose 20-30% instead.
  2. 02
    Reserve only for extreme expedition settings where reapplication is impossible.
  3. 03
    Keep strictly off plastics, watch crystals, and synthetic fabrics - it dissolves them.

    Wash off as soon as practical.
