CP Anti-Insect DEET 40% Spray

Care Plus® DEET is the strongest insect-repellent remedy for the skin. The active ingredient is effective against various disease transmitters, like (malaria) mosquitoes and ticks. DEET offers up to 10 hours of protection from stings and bites. The use of DEET is advised for destinations where there is a risk of malaria, dengue, zika, chikungunya, yellow fever and West Nile virus.

DEET is a yellow-green liquid and a solvent that can affect various fabrics including certain plastics, viscose, elastane and leather. It does not affect natural fibres like cotton and wool, and has no effect on nylon.

We advise covering the skin with clothes as much as possible. Preferably wear long trousers and a long-sleeved shirt. For optimal protection against bites and stings, we advise to apply Care Plus® Anti-Insect DEET to all exposed skin. Apply the insect repellent evenly with the palm of your hand. For protection of the face, apply a small amount of the product with your fingers. Wash your hands afterwards and apply to the back of your hands. Always keep the inside of your hands free from DEET with regard to consuming food or drinks. In case of children, do not apply the insect repellent to body parts that can easily come into contact with the eyes or mouth, like hands and forearms. For use during the day, apply the insect repellent ten minutes before exposure to direct sunlight. In combination with a sunscreen, apply the sunscreen 30 minutes before exposure to direct sunlight. Apply the insect repellent 20 minutes later (and 10 minutes before exposure to sunlight). Wash treated parts of the skin properly with soap when protection is no longer needed or if side effects have occurred.
