Pressurized Sprays of Permethrin on Clothing for Personal Protection Against the Lone Star Tick (Acari: Ixodidae)1
Abstract
The efficacy of permethrin when applied from a pressurized aerosol dispenser containing a 0.5% formulation was determined by field assays against natural infestations of Amblyomma americanum (L.) in eastern Oklahoma. Single applications of 60, 30, and 15 sec to cotton clothing provided complete (100%) protection for three successive 1-h daily exposures of human subjects to tick-infested habitat. The residual activity and concentrations of permethrin in the treated clothing were determined by adult mosquito assays and gas-chromatographic analyses in the laboratory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
