I am afraid Deet is no longer considered safe, In fact the higher the concentration %26amp; the more you use the greater the risk to your health! Each year over 200 000 ppl die from pesticides! Safer alternative is ';incognito';. You can read about it on avoidingbites.com

What are the effects of prolonged exposure to insect repellent sprays to humans?
There is evidence of nerve/neurological damage but it depends on the ingredients used
Probably a serious rash. And possible carsinogenic problems.
I know a gut that worked on a farm.
He has skin cancer from the industrial bug spray.
There are two main insect repellant/killers: one is pybuthrin, extracted from the African pyrethum plant and is relatively harmless-
COMPARED WITH chloro-thio-phosphate based materials, related to eg, phosgene, the WW1 poison gas, that are associated with nerve damage, mutations and death.
You don't want to be in prolonged contact with any chemical that has a repellant/toxic effect on any animal, no matter how safe the makers claim it is!
They're only after your money and will tell you anything to get it.
Nerve Damage / Brain Damage.
