CAUTION URGED WHEN USING INSECT REPELLENTS
Healt.h officials in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey are advising
people using insect repellents containing the chemical DEET on exposed skin to
exercise caution to avoid overexposure and possible reactions. Insect
repellents should be used to prevent insect-borne problems, but they should be
used with care.
The advisory comes from the Connecticut Department of.Health Services, the
New York Department of Health, and the New Jersey Department of Health.
Public concern about Lyme disease, which is transmitted by infected deer
ticks, and concern about this year's large mosquito population may cause some
people to apply on the skin excessive amounts of insect repellents with DEET
(N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) for prolonged periods of time, thus increasing the
chance of adverse reactions.
