dc.description.abstract	Reported evidence suggests that DEET use is safe for children older than 2 months, with only very rare incidence of major adverse effects (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C). Typically, a topical concentration between 10% and 30% should be used (SOR: C). Increasing DEET concentration does not improve protection, but does increase the duration of action (SOR: A).	eng
