Ben's 30 Tick & Insect Repellent offers protection from ticks and insects that may carry West Nile Virus (WNV), Lyme disease, Malaria, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and other infectious diseases. Providing up to 8 hours of effective protection, Ben's 30's unique formula is made to evaporate slowly - so repellent stays on longer with little absorption into the skin. Individually wrapped wipes let you control the amount and location of repellent to apply. 30% DEET is the minimum % recommended to guard against diseases transmitted by insects. Smell the great outdoors, not your repellent. Individually-wrapped and easy-to-apply wipes are perfect for packs, pockets, or purses. Water-based formula stays on skin's surface rather than being absorbed.
