FAQ: What is DEET and why does it repel insects?

DEET (diethyltoluamide) is the gold-standard insect repellent active ingredient - it works by interfering with insects' ability to detect humans through smell, effectively making the wearer invisible to biting insects. Higher DEET concentrations (40%+) provide longer-lasting protection and are recommended for high-risk insect environments and disease-endemic travel destinations.

FAQ: How long does Bushman 40% DEET aerosol last on skin?

40% DEET provides approximately 8-10 hours of protection under normal conditions. Reapply after swimming, excessive sweating or if biting occurs before the expected duration. Always apply to clothing and exposed skin, avoid eyes and mouth, and wash off when returning indoors.
