I wear long sleeve shirts and long pants so don't have to worry about 
legs and arms. However to avoid the problem of DEET getting into my eyes 
and mouth and food, I used squirted DEET onto the _back_ of my hands and 
then rubbed it on my forehead and neck and the remaining DEET on the 
back of my hands protected them. I could then handle food or whatever 
without worry about ingesting DEET.
