• 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]
