Can PermaNet® 2.0 cause skin irritation?
According to field test results from Uganda conducted by Dr Albert Killian from the Malaria Consortium, there is less skin irritation with PermaNet® 2.0 than with nets using a traditional Deltamethrin dipping procedure. PermaNet® 2.0 impregnation actually protects the Deltamethrin from overexposure. With less Deltamethrin available on the net's surface at any given time, the usual irritation associated with Deltamethrin is much reduced and after only one wash, tendencies for skin irritation resulting from PermaNet® 2.0 disappear.
