“Peremthrin is a suspected carcinogen, endocrine toxicant, liver toxicant, neurotoxicant and reproductive toxicant.” So it won’t kill you immediately, but can have serious long term consequences. Be careful with this.

As long as you don’t live in California, I don’t think it’ll kill you…at least that’s what most warnings say on the bottles…LOL

You have to evaluate the risks. Going out in the outdoors with NO tick repellent these days leaves you exposed to a high likelihood of contracting one of the many known tick-borne diseases and thier health consequences. I’ve had lymes, it’s not pleasant and there are still many question marks about long term health effects even after Lymes is treated.

There is also the added concern that there may be UNKNOWN tick-borne diseases out there. It seems each year or two, another disease is traced back to ticks.

I’m sticking with the commercial blends of Peremthrin , but I’m not going to risk going without tick protection. I have not found a single tick on me since I started using Peremthrin.

BTW Peremthrin is NOT to used directly on the skin. Read and follow directions and I would have to think the risks are as minimal as they can get.

Going with this next spring instead of Permethrin. Most hunters I talked to and Joel Nelson have said good things about the clothing. NO ticks since using them. I really do not like using Permethrin but it does work.

Thanks. The same could be said about Tylenol too, though, if you abuse it. I think the body can only absorb 1% of Permethrin, then the body does a good job of getting rid of it. I guess if one was to get crazy with it, the liver and kidneys would show signs of damage. But from most of the research, you only see results like that, for lab rats, who have been fed this stuff daily for 2+ years.
