Help! Lice crawling all over me after holding sick hen

Sometimes it "helps" when an enthusiastic newbie comes on board? I actually like periodically reviewing all my old assumptions/information, so I do a lot of mentoring for interns and what not...bursting with all the information and research they learned in school. We usually end up teaching each other!

Anyway, I continued to look into it, and this paper from Europe must be where the info for my withdrawal time came from. It says that permethrin was detectable in the eggs at a very low level 2.5 ug/kg at 21 days. They made 5ug/kg the cut-off for acceptable levels, which means you could technically eat the eggs at three weeks, but I arbitrarily added a week--figured that would bring the number even closer to zero...

Now this was for the cis-isomer...the trans-isomer was found to clear a lot quicker. I don't know which isomer is used in the common product...I'm going to go now to see if I can find out.

Looks like they're a mix of isomers. Here's one that's 45/55%:

The info on isomers is just below the active ingredient information. If you have a different brand, you can probably look it up on the same website, or it might be on the can.
