I use the 10% for me through and sprays, and am a good bit more Cavalier about it then is recommended above. Permethrin is about half as dangerous to the human body as vodka. Yes, I looked it up. On the other hand, I do avoid use of the Dust because I'm not particularly eager to inhale it, while the water suspension is more likely to Simply end up on my skin. I do wash up well afterwards, not because I am concerned about what the Permethrin will do to me, but because I have a cat I really like. Human skin will break down Permethrin in something like 10 minutes to half an hour. Your dog, similar. Your cat however it may take hours to a day. They lack an enzyme that accelerates the breakdown of Permethrin on their skin, sadly. Same with your fish, don't use Permethrin and then stick your hands in a fish bowl. With those reasonable precautions, you can use it quite safely.
