The technical grade compound caused mild skin irritation, but no eye irritation, no photochemical irritation in rabbits, no sensitization reactions in guinea pigs and did not demonstrate an acute ingestion hazard. It is recommended that AI3-36418, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Compound, be approved for further testing as a candidate insect repellent. (Author)
