Anything that has any sort of effectiveness in warding off
>midges probably has DEET in it. Diethyl toluamide
Out of concern for my fellow Olympuphilic sufferers..... DEET does ward
off the little vampires but is nasty stuff that can cause severe health
problems. Try to avoid direct contact with your skin (including your
hands). With care, quantities of this stuff can be put on your outer
clothing, cap bill, etc. where it will disuade many of the little devils
from drilling you for blood.
