Popis:	A cotton-polyester mesh jacket treated with technical N-N-diethylmetatoluamide (deet) was evaluated as a personal protective measure in the prevention of black fly bites. In addition, the jacket was evaluated as to skin irritability, and acceptability with respect to comfort and convenience after continual wear. The deet-impregnated mesh jacket offered significant protection from black flies as measured by statistical comparisons between the number of bites received by individuals wearing treated and non-treated jackets. Of the participants queried, 96.03% stated that the deet-treated jacket produced no skin irritability. With respect to comfort and convenience, a range of 21.9% to 83.2% acceptance was recorded for the jacket.
