The CDC now recommends new options in insect repellents to protect against West Nile virus.

DEET (OFF!, Repel, etc) is very effective. Higher concentrations don't work BETTER...they just last LONGER.

For adults, suggest 10% to 50% DEET...these last 2 to 6 hours. Suggest up to 30% DEET for children over 2 months.
