 Re: Woodsman's "Off".

      Allen,
           You were right about DEET. It is an insect repellent, not an insecticide. I knew I'd heard bad stuff about it so I couldn't leave it alone. It's not quite benign.


      http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/carbaryl-dicrotophos/deet-ext.html

      Chemical Name 
      N,N-diethyl-3-methyl-benzamide or N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide  

"Products containing N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and isomers (Deet) are beneficial as insect repellents, but have also been associated with dermal and neurological reactions in humans (3)."
