Natural Repellants or DEET?

• Although lemon eucalyptus oil is not for children under 3 years of age, it appears the safer choice when applied on the skin. Lemon eucalyptus oil appears to be nearly as effective as DEET. While DEET may last 4 hours, herbal ingredients lose their efficacy more quickly. I’ve read online that DEET sometimes has health related issues for some people… Who knows what they’ll say about DEET in the next decade or two?
• My research shows garlic or foods rich in vitamin B1 may not really be effective as some in the Solano believe.
