So yesterday, my wife and I were in the backyard hanging out by the pool and she sprayed herself with DEET insect repellent. I noticed some of my pepper plants got misted by the spray so i looked up its effects on plants. Turns out that DEET will burn almost any foliage it comes in contact with . i quickly washed my plants off but i just wanted to share this information with anyone that may not already know. If you happen to spray yourself while in the garden do it AWAY from the plants
