According to Health Canada and the Centers for Disease Control in the U.S., the most effective repellents for protection against West Nile Virus and encephalitis-carrying mosquitoes are those that contain DEET. In a test conducted by the New England Journal of Medicine, non-DEET products offered little or no protection, while DEET-containing products provided full protection for several hours. According to these researchers, DEET has a remarkable safety record after 40 years of use and remains the gold standard for protection from disease-carrying insectsit also protects from Lyme Disease-carrying ticks and other pests.
