[wpsnotebook at charter.net (Richard Woods)]

New product hitting the streets, this from the Cutter website:
Cutter Advanced Insect Repellent will be the first brand in the United 
States to feature Picaridin. ?Picaridin, developed by Bayer in the late 
1980s, works the same way as DEET in that it blocks an insect?s ability 
to locate those who have applied it. ?Both field and lab studies 
conducted by the World Health Organization have shown that Picaridin is 
comparable to and often superior to DEET for long-lasting, effective 
protection. ?Picaridin is currently one of the top selling active 
ingredients in mosquito repellents in Europe .

With active ingredient Picaridin, Cutter Advanced Insect Repellent will 
provide Americans with the same long-lasting, effective protection 
against mosquitoes, biting flies, no-see-ums, fleas, and other biting 
insects as DEET-based repellents. ?In addition, it is fragrance free 
and does not need to be washed off when returning indoors. ?Cutter 
Advanced Insect Repellent is available at leading mass retailers, 
grocery and drug stores, home centers and hardware stores, and is 
priced comparable to current DEET-based repellents. ?
