I guess that I would be tempted to respond to him that, " Unlike you, my parents were married. Please don't refer to me as a bastard." Losing my sense of humor as I age.

I don't mean to sound like the canary in the coal mine, but I can't use Deet anymore. Bad reaction... Lots of others can't use it anymore either. This "formula" is less harsh to us canaries.
