“All my outdoor clothes are covered in Permathrin.:)”

I think you mean pyrethrin, which is an insect repellent.
Pyrethrin come from chrysanthemum flowers and is a mixture of six chemicals produced by the flower that are toxic to insects. Strangely enough, these same chemicals are not toxic to mammals and chrysanthemum tea is actually quite pleasant tasting.

Nope. I mean permathrin. It is synthetic, and I believe it is a synthetic form of Pyrethrin.

Permethrin is the synthetic version of Pyrethrin.
