1. Jim Burke and Horace Deets were succinct.

3. DEET or permethrin-based mosquito and tick repellents may be used, which can substantially increase the level of protection (see section on repellents).

3.

4. Treating clothes with repellents containing permethrin or DEET will give extra protection, since mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing.

5. Should you be reaching for the DEET - drenched brand your family has used for years?

9. Despite the efficiency of tick repellents, particularly with DEET applied to skin and permethrin applied to clothing, they are under-utilized.

10. However, DEET on a wrist band prevented bites for only 12 to 18 seconds.

11. OBJECTIVE Calcium alginate microsphere was prepared to decrease the percutaneous penetration of DEET for sustained release.

12. That's because there will still be enough regular mosquitoes to crossbreed with those that can't sense DEET.
