        Deet is toxic. Its safer to buy the herbal spray oils, they work great. You can buy them in grocery stores

        Not true. DEET is a poison toxin. Read REAL science studies, not paid gov studies

        Fine. Here's a link to ~200 scientific journal articles on the topic: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2016&q=DEET+safety+efficacy … You are wrong. #Science

        No, you are wrong. If something is made in a laboratory it is toxic. why would you use chemicals on Ur skin?

        The "herbal oils" you refer to are also composed of chemicals. Did you never take high-school chemistry?

        Yeah, if herbs are GMO. Clearly you choose to believe toxins are "safe"so be it. But don't undermine my researched education
