Well now I'm 30 and so far things seem to be ok! Fingers crossed
Watching this video made me facepalm really hard.

On sligthly unrelated and personal note, I made the mistake to pass an MRI with gadolinium based contrast (refuse it if you have choice!) months ago and the lasting effects are still a huge toll on my health (difficulties to think, talk and sleep, skin and paint raidiness, cardiac and sexual (erectile and nearly no spermatogenese, maybe linked to thyroïd?) issues. I hope this isn't permanent but there is no improvement in sigth, and no explaination for why it wasn't filtered (creatinine level from a blood test months after the incident was on the lower end but still in the normals brackets) that could accord me support from a nephrologist or other specialist to get rid of the deposits.
DEET isn’t a cholinesterase inhibitor.
And in terms of cholinesterase inhibition, there was a 2009 paper that said it was. Digging into it, it was when applied in vitro at a concentration of 20uM, which you’d need to drink hundreds of milliliters to achieve.
Which apparently is a thing that is done, going by the bizarre link in geomark's post above.
People are weird.
Other things with insecticidal properties: gasoline, bleach, car windshields, and bricks.
