Wear and Wash Persistence of Permethrin Used as a Clothing Treatment for Personal Protection Against the Lone Star Tick (Acari: Ixodidae)12
Abstract
The persistence of permethrin as a clothing impregnant under the stress of wear and washing was assayed. Human subjects were exposed to natural infestations of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, in eastern Oklahoma. permethrin treatment rate of 0.125–0.2 mg/cm2 of cloth completely protected human subjects from attack by the ticks through 132 h of wear and through 3 washes with warm water and detergent. Subsequently, laboratory assays with adult mosquitoes and chemical analyses showed only a slight loss of permethrin from treated clothing subjected to wear and ca. 50% loss from 4 washes. These laboratory findings confirmed the results of the field assays.

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.
