I need to buy urgently tick repellent containing deet for my 3 year old daughter (and the rest of us). Can anyone suggest an internet website where I can buy it fast and would it be suitable for my little girl?
thank you

I have read several times that DEET is good for repelling mosquitoes but not ticks. So do your nightly tick checks.
Permethrin kills ticks on contact. It cannot be used on skin, only shoes and clothing and must be allowed to dry completely before wearing clothing/shoes.

Deet appears to be ok for sale in france. It should be at most pharmacies and travel shops. Double check the recommended minimum age and concentration for children, I believe that there are some state level recommendations that vary from country to country.
