"The EWG report says tests have found that four registered chemicals provide a high level of protection from a number of bug bites and are also found in many popular products on your drugstore shelves. The EWG lists them as Picaridin (picar-ry-din) ,
I-R-3-5-3-5, oil of lemon Eucalyptus and its synthetic derivative known as PMD and Deet. Despite its reputation as being a powerful chemical, researchers found Deet to be the most effective and least toxic of all the chemicals."
