Primary Dermal Irritation Potential of Existing and Candidate Insect Repellents and Formulation Products for Insect Repellents

摘要

The dermal irritation potential of existing and candidate insect repellents as well as formulation products for insect repellents were assessed by using the modified Draize Test. The test called for approximately 0.5 g of material to be held in contact with the skin of rabbits for 24 hr. Only mild erythema and mild edema were noticed with any of the compounds tested.
