I know that I always "try" to stay with a lower DEET %age; however, when I'm in "serious mesquito territory", well, give me the chemical & fast! I've learned to RUN indoors at 4 p.m. & not return outside until "bug hour" is OVER ...for me it's until about sunset. That routine has kept me out of trouble by leaps and bounds. If it's the Amazon, boy I wouldn't just take low DEET. Just my opinion. - Michele
