[QUOTE="badfish1977, post: 2610715, member: 34887"] Its the same way the military does it, they soak their clothes in it and once dry its safe. Here's some facts about permethrin and its safety Permethrin is over 2,250 times more toxic to ticks than humans; so just a little bit provides great protection safely. The EPA states "...There is reasonable certainty that Permethrin-treated clothing poses no harm to infants or children". Put directly on the skin, typically less than 1% of active ingredient is absorbed into the body; DEET can be absorbed at over 20 times that rate. Exposure risk of Permethrin-treated clothing to toddlers is 27 times below the EPA's Level of Concern (LOC). A 140-pound person would have no adverse health effects if exposed to 32 gms of permethrin/day.There is less than 1 gram of permethrin in an entire bottle of clothing treatment.
