deet has been researched along with Encephalopathy, Toxic in 3 studies

N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide : A monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of m-toluic acid with the nitrogen of diethylamine. First developed by the U.S. Army in 1946 for use by military personnel in insect-infested areas, it is the most widely used insect repellent worldwide.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" This article describes those changes, and summarizes more recent data relating to the pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and epidemiology of adverse effects associated with DEET in humans."2.42DEET: a review and update of safety and risk in the general population. ( Sudakin, DL; Trevathan, WR, 2003)
" We investigated the dose-response effects of these chemicals, alone or in combination, on the sensorimotor performance and cholinergic system of male Sprague-Dawley rats."1.32Co-exposure to pyridostigmine bromide, DEET, and/or permethrin causes sensorimotor deficit and alterations in brain acetylcholinesterase activity. ( Abdel-Rahman, A; Abou-Donia, MB; Bullman, SL; Dechkovskaia, AM; Goldstein, LB; Khan, WA, 2004)
" The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that the potential toxicity of DEET is high and that available repellents containing DEET, irrespective of their strength, are not safe when applied to children's skin."1.31Toxic encephalopathy associated with use of DEET insect repellents: a case analysis of its toxicity in children.
