"OFF!" is an insect repellent available in the Philippines ( www.off.com/en-US/Pages/Home.aspx). It contains DEET ( diethyltoluamide) which is the active chemical to look for in insect repellents. DEET 20-50% in lotions, sprays or roll-on formulations is usually safe for skin of adults, pregnancy (last 6 months), breast-feeding, and for children over 6 months. Avoid contact with sore, sensitive or broken skin. If asthmatic consult doctor before use. In the UK Boots sell "Repel" (www.boots.com) which contains 50% DEET.
