#permethrin — Public Fediverse posts

#FlyFishingFriday

Chester Creek, PA

While my son practices soccer a bit far from home, there is usually a creek nearby 😉
It was incredibly humid yesterday, and the redbreast sunfish were very active 😊
Surprisingly, no mosquitos although I was covered in DEET and permethrin-treated clothes 😉

The mosquitos are back and the back is where they're biting me too; through my t-shirt…

So I went and did it; got myself some #Nobite #Permethrin!

Buuuuut they made it stink...

Why does every insect repellent/insecticide manufacturer feel the need to add these "fragrances"‽

0.1% Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, ext. Should have looked at the safety sheet before I bought.. (because apparently that's the only place where you're informed that the stuff you're about to buy FUCKING STINKS).

Der falsche Zeckenschutz kann für Katzen tödlich sein:
Was ist zu tun, wenn eine #Katze versehentlich mit #Permethrin behandelt wurde?
🐱1️⃣ Das Tier an der Applikationsstelle gründlich waschen!
🐱2️⃣ Schnellstmöglich eine Tierarztpraxis aufsuchen!

Yesterday, a #horsefly almost succeeded at biting through my sock.
I had actually sprayed my sock with #icaridin but apparently I missed a spot. I felt it bite and gave it a good ol' clap but ugh; I don't want to have to think about this..

I see this as a declaration of war: Time to treat my clothing with #permethrin!

This stuff is kinda expensive though: one 12€ bottle for 4 T-Shirts.
Is it possible to apply it partially? Like, just the shoulders of your shirt where it lays flat on your skin?

"One flea treatment of a medium-sized dog contains enough pesticide to kill 60 million bees."

❗🐈 Vorsicht beim #Zeckenschutz: Tierarzneimittel mit dem Wirkstoff #Permethrin können bei Katzen schwere Vergiftungserscheinungen hervorrufen und zum Tod führen. Katzen fehlt ein spezifisches Enzym, um den Wirkstoff im Körper abbauen zu können: 👉 https://sohub.io/c1dn

Am #Weltkatzentag 🐈 warnt @BVL_Bund: Lebensgefährliche Verwechslung möglich! Zum Schutz vor Zecken & Co. greifen TierbesitzerInnen auch zu Tierarzneimitteln mit #Permethrin. Bei Katzen können die Mittel jedoch zu schweren Vergiftungen führen: https://sohub.io/1yjn

Myoga, Japanese ginger

Watering plants at the most important corner of my backyard, where I have Myoga 😉 They are growing well, hopefully providing us with nice condiments 😋

When I do yard work, I tend to have beer, which makes me a better target of mosquitoes 🤔

DEET didn’t work, my old permethrin-treated t-shirt didn’t work 🥲 I need to get new treated shirts for fishing (I got many bites during fishing)🤔

@larsmb I’ve found #ExOfficio’s #BugsAway line of clothing to be very effective at keeping bugs at bay. My bugsaway shirt greatly reduces #mosquitoes around my head. Not sure if #permethrin embedded in clothing fabric is safer than #DEET on the skin, but it certainly feels a lot less gross.
