• Description:
  This study provided documentation and support for adding long-lasting permethrin treated clothing to the list of personal protective equipment for outdoor workers potentially exposed to disease-carrying ticks. Studies examined the short- (3 months) and longer-term (1 year) human exposure risk of wearing long-lasting permethrin treated clothing. Studies also demonstrated the loss of tick repellent efficacy after one year of use, and provides justification for renewing treatment each year clothing will be used. Description provided by NIOSH
