Use DEET and don't worry. The worries will do more damage than the mosies.
I tested the Avon Skin-so-Soft in our home state of Montana. I fished the Bitterroot with Skin-so-Soft and was eaten alive. I quickly put on some DEET and continued in comfort....except for the earlier bites. No new bites after the DEET was applied.
I'm a retired organic chemist and I know that there are chemophobes out there. DEET has to be one of the most tested consumer products available. Use it and have fun in the outdoors!
