Adventures in DEET


Apparently, DEET comes in many forms.  If you think "Off!" is all there is, you haven't visited your local Army-Navy surplus store, have you?  Ah, you haven't, have you...

The search for the much-recommended solid roll-on DEET came up empty, so I had to settle for a combination of cream and a pump spray. 

I love Army-Navy surplus stores but the guys behind the counter treat every customer like they're going into combat.  One owner tried to sell me 100% DEET - insisted on it in fact -- then when he realized (?) I was planning to put the DEET on my skin, backed off and showed me the 30% product, citing that "the 100% stuff will kill you!" 

My question, "Why are you selling stuff that will kill me?" went unanswered.
