It's straight-up poison, which is why it's so effective.

Slow down there, cowboy. Permethrin is
very low toxicity to humans.

"Permethrin has low mammalian toxicity, is poorly absorbed through the skin and is rapidly inactivated by the body. Skin reactions have been uncommon."
It is however extremely toxic to cats and fish. If you keep either as pets, leave your permethrin-infused clothing in the garage when you get home.
