“…The host skin possesses characteristics that interfere with the efficacy and duration of the repellent activity of a compound; these include: high temperature, transpiration, skin absorption and substances that can combine with repellent molecules. Those factors can contribute to a faster loss of repellency in compounds tested on skin than on paper (MAIBACH et al, 1974).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…DEET‐based repellents can be expected to provide a safe as well as long‐lasting repellency, when applied according to instructions. However, they are not perfect repellents because DEET may be washed off by perspiration or rain, and its efficacy decreases dramatically with rising outdoor temperatures (Maibach et al. 1974a,b; Fradin 2001b).…”

“…As mentioned above, volatilization is a crucial property that determines the efficacy of a topical mosquito repellent. A minimum effective dose (MED) of the active ingredient close to the skin is required to repel mosquitoes successfully . Similarly, for space repellents, a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the repellent must be present in the bulk air .…”

“…MED and MIC values vary among repellents and are functions of intrinsic repellence and environmental factors. Previous studies have shown that protection time is inversely proportional to the evaporation rate of the repellent …”
