DEET was developed in 1944  by Samuel Gertler of the United States Department of Agriculture for use by the United States Army,

following its experience of jungle warfare during World War II.

It was originally tested as a pesticide on farm fields, and entered military use in 1946 and civilian use in 1957. It was used in Vietnam and

Southeast Asia.

In its original form known as "bug juice", the application solution for DEET was composed of 75% DEET and ethanol.

Later, a new version of the repellent was developed by U.S. Army and the USDA.

This incarnation consisted of DEET and polymers that extended the release of the DEET and reduced its evaporation rate.^[

This extended-release application was registered by the EPA in 199

Diethyltoluamide (DEET) is the common active ingredient in many insect repellent products.

It is widely used to repel biting pests such as mosquitoes and ticks. Every year,

DEET formulations are used to protect populations from mosquito-borne illnesses like West Nile Virus, the Zika virus,

malaria, and/or tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

And, despite concerns over excessive exposure to the chemical,

appropriate usage of the chemical at the recommended dosages and routes of administration

have generally proven to be safe - even when most DEET products are largely designed to

be applied directly to human skin, where the exact mechanisms of actions in which

DEET is capable of repelling insects and causing toxicity to humans is still not fully elucidated.
