Yes, possibly. It is toxic, so avoid contact with skin and don't inhale it.

The problem with modern bed bugs is that they are increasingly resistant to chemicals and have developed "super-bug" status. Increasingly bed bug specialists are turning to chemical free solutions to avoid this problem.

If you are looking to self treat, reading up on the products you plan on using and the best way to use them is essential although professional experienced help is almost always recommended.

Warning: The liquid form of permethrin is VERY toxic to cats. Make sure everything is very dry before allowing them in the area.

No, you shouldn't use an insecticide on biting wounds! Permethrin cream is used to get rid of scabies, caused by small mites. It will not kill bed bugs.

How regular can you use Permethrin cream without side effects?

Permethrin is designed to kill insects and other non-mammals. It is not very toxic for humans. It is also poorply absorbed through the skin. Maybe taking a bath in concentrated permethrin could kill you, but any permethrin cream designed for use in humans probably has very little chance of doing anything that is not designed to. (Especially if you follow the directions). -Zach
