Hi, being the somewhat nervous Nellie that I am, I have been following all the info on Zika virus. Recently, it has been revealed that in rare individuals it can cause ms like demyelination.
Dr OZ listed the following alternatives to deet on tv yesterday - Picardian (pepper 20%) or
Oil of lemon eucalyptus 30% (but not for under 3 yrs old ) He said
Both were as good as deet, less toxic. Although he warned not to get in eyes. Also, you probably heard already that a wind
Greater than 10 miles an hr, such as a circular fan on high will keep mosquitos away because they have weak tiny wings. (Well its something).
Here is link to Zika overview:
