Just as a side note... I believe they use it to kill scabies by coating
your whole body in it.

I have not been a fan of the latter, or even pyrethrum (the fully
natural chemical) and have criticized the latter being allowed under
HRM's Pesticide By-law and now under provincial legislation because of
its broad spectrum effects and effects on aquatic life in particular

I hope people will consider very carefully before applying such
pesticides as bug b gon and others to their lawns and gardens. Google
them and check their toxicity to pollinators and other beneficial
insects. Surely at least those on this nature living list can be
leaders, communicators and advocates for dealing with the less than 2%
of insects considered pests in other ways rather than these incredibly
poisonous treatments.=C2=A0
As for ticks. Tuck your pant legs in your socks, wear bug jackets and
gloves etc. Washing pesticide soaked clothing introduces these
chemicals into our water.=C2=A0
Pyrethroids have been found to be unaffected by secondary treatment
systems at municipal wastewater treatment facilities. They appear in
the effluent, usually at levels lethal to invertebrates.

Or skin irritation.
A minor correction, Jane, permethrin is the
man-made analog of pyrethrin and permethrin is
available in far more insecticides than pyrethrin
(because permethrin has a longer shelf-life, a
longer active period and is cheaper to include in
insecticide formulation).

<div _mce_style=3D"">I hope people will consider very carefully before appl=
ying
such pesticides as bug b gon and others to their lawns and gardens. Google =
them
and check their toxicity to pollinators and other beneficial insects. Surel=
y at
least those on this nature living list can be leaders, communicators and
advocates for dealing with the less than 2% of insects considered pests in =
other
ways rather than these incredibly poisonous treatments.=C2=A0</div>
<div><span _mce_style=3D"">As for ticks. Tuck your pant legs in your socks,=
wear
bug jackets and gloves etc. Washing pesticide soaked clothing introduces th=
ese
chemicals into our water.=C2=A0</span><br><span _mce_style=3D"">Pyrethroids=
have been
found to be unaffected by secondary treatment systems at municipal wastewat=
