We all know that DEET is an effective mosquito repellent. Many people's response to fears about West Nile Virus (WNV), ZIKA and the pain and annoyance of mosquito bites is to slather on DEET insect repellent, especially on their children. We’ve been brainwashed to believe that this “miracle chemical” is completely safe. DEET is a registered pesticide. DEET is short for N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (also known as N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide). It is a member of the toluene chemical family. Toluene is used in rubber and plastic cements and paint removers. DEET is absorbed through the skin and passes into the blood. The Medical Sciences Bulletin, published by Pharmaceutical Information Associates Ltd. reports, "Up to 56% of DEET applied topically penetrates intact human skin and 17% is absorbed into the bloodstream." The DEET that is taken in to the body can be found in the blood up to 12 hours after it is applied to the skin. A trial was done on women to test the safety of using DEET to prevent malaria during pregnancy. Women used a product with 20% DEET on their legs and arms each day during their second and third trimesters of pregnancy. DEET crossed the placenta and was found in 8% of the cord blood samples. Source The Hazards of Deet Do a “search online” and you’ll see how great the lobbyists for DEET have done to squash information that portrays DEET negatively. Just look at the back of your favorite DEET bug spray and you’ll find a required safety label with a warning such as this: “Hazards to Humans – Warning: …wash treated clothing before wearing it again…wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.” Did you know that mosquito spray containing DEET is a great way to clean the Duke University Medical Center pharmacologist Mohamed Abou-Donia spent 30 years researching the effects of pesticides. He has found that prolonged exposure to DEET can impair functioning in parts of the brain. With heavy exposure to DEET and other insecticides, humans may experience memory loss, headache, weakness, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, tremors and shortness of breath, said Abou-Donia.

We created the “ONE8E” brand to offer consumers a completely different, natural, 180 degree (if you will) option to harmful, chemical-focused products. These chemical laden products are “deemed safe” by the very agencies we’ve entrusted our health and the health of our children and loved ones too. We hope you’ll do a “ONE-8-E” when it comes to using products with fancy chemical names you can’t pronounce and instead will look for safe, time-tested, natural alternatives that are safe for humans, pets and the environment.
