Wrote to OFF and got this response that pertains only to the 100% DEET product. Asked for info o the others. Will post when I get them. I think the main concern would be that they use something like wheat germ oil to make it spread and not be drying to skin.

"Thanks for reaching out to us, Karen.

Although I can't be sure which kind of OFF!

Forgot to ask Cutter. I just sent them a note. I know we aren't supposed to ingest them but I think we have all tasted it on our lips or had some on our fingers.

Plus, it's easy to inhale it when spraying it or have it run down our faces when sweating, so it is a very good idea to check.

You never know what might cause the itchies, either. :rolleyes:

I read the label on the sunscreen recently, too--for this very purpose.

Hey, thanks for doing the leg work for us, K. :)

Fast response from Cutter. I guess they are made by the same company as Repel.

      Duodenum biopsy result confusion

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jamiet06, Yes, it does point in that direction.  Your report says "Correlation with clinical findings and results of serological studies is recommended"  is saying you should undergo a gluten challenge and be tested for antibodies associated with Celiac Disease.   These antibodies are produced in celiac disease in response to gluten, but you have to eat generous amounts of gluten for the antibodies to show up in the bloodstream. A gluten challenge means you eat 10 grams or more of gluten  (4 to 6 slices of gluten containing bread or equivalent or more) per day for a minimum of two weeks.

      @elizabethhousworth, I found that supplementing with Riboflavin Vitamin B2 has helped my migraines immensely.   Effect of Vitamin B2 supplementation on migraine prophylaxis: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33779525/ "Conclusions: A pooled analysis of available randomized controlled clinical trials demonstrated that Vitamin B2 400 mg/day for three months supplementation had significant effect on days, duration, frequency, and pain score of migraine attacks." Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs  have found supplementing with a form if thiamine vitamin B1 called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps in autism.  Treatment of autism spectrum children with thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide: a pilot study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12195231/ The Rationale for Vitamin, Mineral, and Cofactor Treatment in the Precision Medical Care of Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9964499/ Hope this helps!

      Multi vitamin plus iron

      Interesting reading on Histamine Intolerance (HIT): Histamine Intolerance: The Current State of the Art https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7463562/ Histamine Intolerance—The More We Know the Less We Know. A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8308327/   We need the enzyme DAO (Diamond Oxidase) to break down histamine.  Our body can make DAO with Pyridoxine B6, Vitamin C, and copper.  B12, zinc and magnesium, as well as thiamine, help, too.   DAO supplements made from beef or pork kidneys are available, too.

      Thank you! I did not realize the role of thiamine in hit healing. I will look for Life Extension then.
