- refurb 7y agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEET https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEET DEET isn’t a cholinesterase inhibitor.
- selectodude 7y agoYes, but it’s commonly combined with carbamate which is.
- refurb 7y agoCarbamate is an insecticide. In what insect repellent products is it combined with DEET? And in terms of cholinesterase inhibition, there was a 2009 paper that said it was. Digging into it, it was when applied in vitro at a concentration of 20uM, which you’d need to drink hundreds of milliliters to achieve.
