Apply sparingly onto skin folds because increased irritation is more likely to occur in these areas. Do not apply it under clothing. Wash treated clothing after use or when protection is no longer needed. Read the label very carefully to see if the product contains alcohol.
Alcohol is flammable and can catch on fire.
Do not use any product containing alcohol near a fire or open flame, or while smoking. Also, do not smoke after applying one of these products and do not expose your treated skin to fire or open flame until the diethyltoluamide on your skin has completely dried . In addition, keep your treated clothing away from fire, open flame, or smoke. Do not keep the repellent on your skin any longer than necessary. Once it is not needed, or after you return indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water.
