The fact that any substance especially one which is in the liquid form can get easily absorbed by the skin and can eventually reach the blood stream points that toxic effects of deet can also easily reach inside the body. It is found that about 56% of deet can get inside the skin and 17% of deet gets absorbed by the blood stream.

Usage of deet is strictly prohibited for children less than 6 months. EPA suggests that only less than 10% concentration can be applied for children under 12 years.
