I understand it has to be one particular element in the Vitamin B
complex - possibly Vitamin B12.


Unfortunately, it's an urban legend:

A word of warning about DEET, the active ingredient in many insect
repellents.  Whatever you do, DON'T get it on your binoculars or 'scope
- it will attack the rubber armouring, eyecups, and also some plastics.
