Disclaimer:
Regarding safety with insect repellent use on children and pregnant women:

• Children may be at greater risk for adverse reactions to repellents, in part, because their exposure may be greater.
• Keep repellents out of the reach of children.
• Do not allow children to apply repellents to themselves.
• Do not apply repellents to the hands of young children because this may result in accidental eye contact or ingestion.
• Try to reduce the use of repellents by dressing children in long sleeves and long pants tucked into boots or socks whenever possible. Use netting over strollers, playpens, etc.
• As with chemical exposures in general, pregnant women should take care to avoid exposures to repellents when practical, as the fetus may be vulnerable.

Regardless of which repellent product used, it is recommended that the label is read before use and directions carefully followed. Usage instructions for repellents vary from country to country. Some insect repellents are not recommended for use on younger children.
