Please see below in black the excerpts from http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/PermGen.html#cancer. Oregon State scientific community and results from the EPA of the USA.
The U.S. EPA decided that permethrin was "likely to be carcinogenic to humans" if it was eaten.
Where to do you think the spray goes? Our gardens, our soil, our waterways and the fish and shrimp we eat out of those waterways.
Can permethrin affect birds, fish, or other wildlife?Permethrin is highly toxic to fish and other animals that live in either salt water or fresh water. Permethrin is low in toxicity to birds, but some aerosol products made with permethrin may also contain other ingredients that can harm birds if they inhale it. Permethrin is highly toxic to bees and other beneficial insects.
What are some symptoms from a brief exposure to permethrin?[/h]Health effects from permethrin will depend on how someone is exposed to it. Dogs and cats that have permethrin on their skin may act strangely, and flick their paws, twitch their skin or ears, or roll on the ground. When people get permethrin on their skin, they may have irritation or tingling, burning and itching at that spot. If permethrin gets in the eyes it can cause redness, pain or burning. If people eat permethrin it could cause sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. People that have
breathed in permethrin have had irritation in the nose and lungs, difficulty breathing, headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
