According to a new study by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), wearing clothes treated with the insecticide permethrin may help prevent certain mites.

According to a report by the Minnesota Department of Health, one-third of adult black crickets and one-fifth of black nymphs are reported. Bacteria that cause Lyme disease - so we will get as much protection as possible.
Now researchers have found that permethrin, which has been around since the 1970s, has a similar effect on the other two.蜱 species: Lone Star 蜱 and American 蜱. Unlike black-legged ticks, American dogs and lone owls have nothing to do with Lyme disease, but that doesn't mean they are harmless. American shit is responsible for spreading the potentially deadly Rocky Mountain spotted fever, while the lone star is associated with Ehrlich's disease, a bacterial infection that causes flu-like symptoms. Like Lyme disease, these rumored diseases are also increasing.
For the latest research, the different stages of life - both "youth" and adults - are placed on permethrin-treated shirts, pants and socks for one to five minutes. Research entomologist Dr. Lars Eisen, an entomologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that all cockroaches have experienced the so-called "hot foot" effect. He explained: “This causes the cockroaches to fall off from the vertically oriented treated textiles, which are intended to mimic the arms of the trouser legs or shirts.”
Permethrin-treated clothes slow down the black legs Most effective. Nymph. These "immature" mites are smaller than adult adults and are easily detected, which is why they are most likely to contract Lyme disease. One minute after exposure to the pesticide, 100% of the black leg nymphs are still licking after an hour and are unlikely to bite.
W sounds promising, some of the experts reported by consumers need to be more convincedforce. James Dickerson, chief scientific officer of Consumer Reports, pointed out: "The CDC study did not test anything when it was worn, so it didn't end up showing how much the clothes might make the mites bite you."[123
In response, research author Essen said: "We know that permethrin-treated clothes are toxic to aphids. So we assume that if you cover the clothes treated with permethrin, there is no reason. It should not be protected."
While more research may be needed to confirm the aphid effect of permethrin-treated clothing, it may be a good idea to add it to your arsenal during this time. - Especially the disease caused by sputum increases s and other insects.
You can purchase pre-treatment equipment from brands such as L.L. Bean and ExOfficio, or you can spray your own clothes with a product containing 0.5% permethrin - one application for six washes at a time. You still want to choose long sleeves and pants to tuck your socks. It may seem a bit silly (well, stupid), but it will help you stay safe.
