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
