Citronella Bug Spray

Perfect for garden weddings, Citronella Bug Spray is an effective, DEET*-free insect repellent. Also safe to use on children.


*DEET (Diethyl-meta-toluamide) is "a member of the toluene chemical family. Toluene us an organic solvent used in rubber and plastic cements and paint removers. DEET is absorbed through the skin and passes into the blood. The Medical Sciences Bulletin, published by Pharmaceutical Information Associates Ltd. reports, "Up to 56% of DEET applied topically penetrates intact human skin and 17% is absorbed into the bloodstream." Blood concentrations of about 3 mg per liter have been reported several hours after DEET repellent was applied to skin in the prescribed fashion. DEET is also absorbed by the gut."   {source}
