I use DEET with my own kids when we camp or go hiking. From all of the studies I have read it is perfectly safe. The only issue they found was in forest workers in California who used DEET all year round in large quantities for many years.
I don’t use chemicals on my lawn because it kills everything and then seeps into the ground water.
