Usage

General Description

N-(Diethylcarbamoyl)-N-methoxyformamide, also known as DEET, is a widely used insect repellent. It works by masking the body's natural odors that attract insects, thus making it harder for them to identify and target humans as prey. DEET has been shown to be effective against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and chiggers. It is available in various formulations, such as lotions, sprays, and wipes, and is recommended for use in areas where insect-borne diseases are prevalent. While DEET is generally considered safe when used as directed, there have been some concerns about potential health risks with prolonged or excessive exposure.
