Scabies
What is permethrin?
Permethrin is a synthetic chemical that has a vast spec of insecticidal activity. This synthetic chemical is taken up by insects through their mouth, surface coverings or airways passages. This works by clinging on to a particular site or nerve endings which leads to a series of reactions to major organs, paralysis or the nervous system and eventually killing the insect. This preparation is used to treat skin infections caused by mites.
