"Pennyroyal oil contains pulegone, which is highly toxic, particularly to the liver. Ingestion can lead initially to gastrointestinal distress such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Later on, it can lead to failure of the liver and kidneys, resulting in bleeding, seizures, multiple organ failure, and death. "

Small sprayer with 30% DEET sold under names Muscol and Ben's - I had to carry in another plastic jar, because it had eaten through nylon backpack when few drops leaded out. 30% stinks badly already. I don't even want to think what would happen if somebody ingested 100% DEET. Probably the end would be quick.
