I have a rash allover my back, where I never sprayed the DEET, and none on my arms or legs, where I did. I also wore new saree blouses during this time, and they did cover the area of the rash. I can't find a remedy and itch like crazy.

To find information about DEET go to: http://www.quantumhealth.com/news/articledeet.html, they have an article there.
Did your blouses touch any other skin besides your back? If it only touched your back then that may be the cause. Either way, if you haven't resolved the problem you should have it checked out. Sometimes, if it is an allergy, I use Benedryl, but you should ask your doctor and make sure that won't interfere with any other meds you are on.

It could well be the DEET, it is a pesticide and very toxic.
It could also be an allergy, go to your doctor and see for sure.

Yo, Pea... Go to a Dermatologist. You might have had a reaction due to chemicals remaining on the new duds.
