A member asked:
Just found out i'm pregnant. used deet spray on skin, accidentally inhaled some and it made my nose burn. scared for me and baby! what should i do?

Harm unlikely: It is unlikely that sufficient quantities of spray would be absorbed to cause any harm to your unborn baby. In the future, I recommend using lotions with DEET or applying spray to hands and then rubbing that on the skin.
