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.
Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

| "An acute toxic interaction has been described, in which sublethal doses of pyridostigmine bromide (PB) and the insect repellent N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), when administered concomitantly, resulted in seizures and lethality." | 7.70 | Anticonvulsant-resistant seizures following pyridostigmine bromide (PB) and N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET).

( Fell, LA; Murphy, JV; Osimitz, TG; Page, B, 2010) |
| " 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." | 1.31 | Toxic encephalopathy associated with use of DEET insect repellents: a case analysis of its toxicity in children. ( Briassoulis, G; Hatzis, T; Narlioglou, M, 2001) |
| "Although seizures and encephalopathic syndrome have been described with DEET in previous case reports involving topical exposure of pediatric patients, atypical aspects with regard to this case include that this patient was a male (most other case reports involve females), exposure was relatively brief compared with other reports, and the patient developed seizures without a prodrome described in previous reports." | 1.28 | Seizure following brief exposure to the insect repellent N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide. ( Kramer, JE; Leikin, JB; Lipscomb, JW, 1992) |
| "Their common symptoms and signs were coma, seizures, and hypotension occurring within one hour of ingestion." | 1.27 | Severe toxic reactions and death following the ingestion of diethyltoluamide-containing insect repellents. ( Tenenbein, M, 1987) |
