N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide DEET CAS 134-62-3 was developed and patented by the US Department of Agriculture during World War II, and was designated as a mosquito repellent product for use by the US military in 1946. In 1957, it was registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency as an insect repellent and began civilian use. Initially, it was used as a pesticide on farms. Later, the US government applied for Chemical Book to use it during wartime, especially in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, nearly 40% of Americans use insect repellents containing mosquito repellents every year, with approximately 200 million people worldwide using them for over 40 years. Through research by over 20,000 research units, it has been proven that DEET is currently the safest and most effective broad-spectrum repellent on the market. The World Health Organization also recommends using repellent products containing DEET to prevent the invasion of vector insects. It is often mixed with other insecticides, but its toxicity increases when mixed with carbamate insecticides.

Pregnant women should be cautions when using mosquito repellents such as DEET

DEET poses a potential risk to the human body, especially pregnant women. Mosquito repellents containing DEET can penetrate into the bloodstream after coming into contact with the skin, potentially entering the placenta or even the umbilical cord through the bloodstream, leading to teratogenesis.

Pregnant women should avoid using mosquito repellent products containing DEET on Chemicalbook. They can choose to wear light-colored long-sleeved shirts and pants or use mosquito repellent products containing natural ingredients to prevent mosquito bites.

If it is necessary to use mosquito repellent products containing DEET, the lowest concentration and most effective mosquito repellent ingredient should also be used as much as possible.
