How are permethrin-treated prducts being utilized to save lives?
As reported by the CDC website, 41% of the world’s population lives in areas where malaria is transmitted. Each year, 350–500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, and over one million people die—mostly young children in Africa. In response, millions of permethrin-treated bed nets are being distributed globally via malaria control programs. Insect Shield-treated uniforms are now being utilized by numerous international relief organizations to help protect them in areas prone to insect-borne diseases. Research is also being done on the impact of future alternative Insect Shield products.
