I'm sure your mom can remember when DEET was sprayed to control mosquitos. It wiped out thousands of birds--made the shells of their eggs too soft for the chicks to survive. It did major environmental damage to all sorts of plants and animals. It has been linked to cancer in humans. Maybe remind her of that--surely she won't want Major licking something that could be dangerous.
