I bet your neurologist would have information about "deet" and MG
 . don't hesitate to call him. You can also google the "Off" web site and see if this is mentioned. Hope you have a good time and stay save on your vacation. ginnie

DEET is one of those insecticides that does the same thing as Mestinon -- both are cholinesterase inhibitors. So, if you use DEET and take Mestinon, you can get an "overdose". NOT good!
Here is an oldie, but goodie thread. I suggest you read the entire thing: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread102009.html
