[QUOTE="KDM, post: 32921, member: 314"] Anything more than 30% DEET is a waste as far as increasing the repellency properties of a product. There have been several scientific studies about this. 100% DEET and 30% DEET repel the same percentage of mosquitoes. Keep in mind that any repellent, including DEET, will only work on 90% of the population of mosquitoes. That means that if you have 1000 mosquitoes trying to bite you and you are wearing DEET, 100 mosquitoes will ignore the DEET and bite you anyway. Feel free to buy 100% DEET if you like, but you will only be purchasing a greater chance of having a skin reaction to DEET and not an increase in repellency. Carry On!!! [/QUOTE]
