Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):
Eye contact: Contact with the eyes may result in mild to moderate irritation (burning or stinging) in
sensitive individuals. Avoid contact with the eyes.
Skin Contact: Prolonged contact with the skin may result in mild irritation and redness.
Inhalation: the product is non-volatile and inhalation is not likely to occur.
Ingestion: Accidental ingestion may cause gastric upset with irritation and nausea.
Carcinogenicity: NONE KNOWN* NTP? NO** IARC? NO** OSHA? NO
Chronic effects: No adverse health effects associated with repeated contact with Permethrin cream, 5%
have been reported. This product has been shown to cause sensitization in guinea pigs and would be
classed as a mild sensitizer.
*
Permethirin is not carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic.
**
Formaldehyde is listed by IARC and the NTP as a suspect human carcinogen.
Emergency/First Aid Procedures:
Eye contact: immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention
if irritation or other symptoms persist.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation
develops consult a physician.
Inhalation: Inhalation is not likely to occur. If symptoms occur, move to fresh air and obtain medical
attention. Treat symptomatically.
Ingestion: No information is available on overdosage in humans. Wash out mouth and give plenty of
water of bland fluids. Contact a physician immediately.
SECTION VII ?PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps if Released/Spilled: Wear recommended personal protective equipment; Wipe up spill with
absorbent material and wash area with water. If large quantities are spilled, scoop up material and place in
disposal container. Flush spill area residue with water. Permethrin is toxic to aquatic life. Do not flush
large quantities to sewers, storm drains or soil.
Neutralizing Agent: N/A
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of IAW/Federal, state and local regulations.
Precautions-Handling/Storage: Avoid unintentional contact with skin surfaces. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Observe all precautions contained on product label and package insert.
Store in a cool (15-250C), dry location out of direct sunlight. Keep container closed when not in use.
SECTION VIII ?CONTROL MEASURES
Ventilation: General room ventilation is usually satisfactory; use local exhaust when necessary.
Respiratory Protection: Not necessary for normal product handling; use local exhaust when necessary.
Eye Protection: Safety goggles.
Protective Gloves: Disposable latex/nitrile or other chemical resistant gloves.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Disposable garments.
Work/Hygiene Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If working with large quantities of
material (such as spill clean-up), use nitrile or other chemical resistant gloves and appropriate eye
protection. No eating, drinking or smoking in area.

SECTION IX ?TOXICLOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Oral: LD50 (rat) - >5.0 mL/kg
Dermal: LD50 (rat) - >10 mL/kg
Carcinogenicity: Six carcinogenicity bioassays were evaluated with permethrin, three each in rats and mice.
No tumorigenicity was seen in the rat studies. However, species specific increases in pulmonary
adenomas, a common benign tumor of mice of high spontaneous background incidence, were seen in the
three mouse studies. In one of these studies there was an increased incidence of pulmonary alveolar cell
carcinomas and benign liver adenomas only in female mice when permethrin was given in their food at a
concentration of 5000 ppm.
Reproduction: Permethrin did not have any adverse effect on reproductive function at a dose of 180
mg/kg/day orally in a three-generation rat study. Reproduction studies have been performed in mice, rats,
and rabbits (200 to 400 mg/kg/day orally) and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to
the fetus due to permethrin.
Mutagenicity: Permethrin showed no evidence of mutagenic potential in a battery of in vitro and in vivo
genetic toxicity studies.
