        Never apply DEET to your clothes, that is what permethrin is for and it works great! Put it on all your outdoor clothes/gear!

        DEET works great but is only for skin, let it dry first too.

          I had DEET on my skin and sat in a UBER and my leg was sitting against the door of the car. After I left, I took paint and plastic with me on my leg after a 15 min ride.

              No, I actually didn’t notice until after I already left. I was wondering why my leg has melted plastic on it. Lol

            Yep, DEET will melt synthetic stuff: Let it dry on your skin before you do anything and for clothes/gear use permethrin

        DEET scarred my water bottle, but it’s no biggie because I’ve scarred it worse by dropping it.
