A. Products containing DEET are considered to be safe when used according to the manufacturer’s directions. In some instances, the use of repellents that contain DEET may cause skin reactions. Eye irritation can occur if product gets in the eye. If product gets in the eyes, flush with water and consult a health care provider. If you suspect a reaction to a product, discontinue use, wash all affected areas, and contact a medical provider. If you go to a doctor, take the product with you. Products should not be ingested.
