Don't forget that there are some products out there that have been newly recommended -- picaridin (KBR 3023) (Cutter Advanced) and oil of lemon eucalyptus (p-Menthane-3, 8-diol, or PMD) (Repel Lemon Eucalyptus Spray and other products). Or high concentrations of DEET, of course, but some younger children cannot handle DEET -- I don't know what the warnings are on these two new ones or on DEET with respect to children or pregnant women or people over age whatever. ("Whatever" means some age that's older than you, doesn't it? :D )
I saw this note in the July 1 issue of Bottom Line Personal that arrived today but I think I've seen it elsewhere recently. Maybe Consumer Reports and/or the newspaper health notes or -- I don't recall.
