Effective Deet Concentrations

Post by larree0 »

Now that the little skeeters are out up here in Oregon, I have a question about deet. I think I remember an article in Science News that testing showed that something in the 33% deet range was most effective. Does anyone have any info?

thanks

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
