> I just finished treating my herd for lice with a dust permethrin
product. There were many warnings and precautions on the label, so
we were very careful not to come in contact with the chemical dust as
we applied it to the animals. My question is, how long should I wait
before handling the animals and touching the treated areas? Thanks,

I treated my goats with Foof Grade Diatomaceous Earth. You put it in
a tube sock - tie it off and "powder puff" them all over with it.
Then clean all the lay areas and sprinkle it on the ground before
adding new bedding. Also add it to their dust bath area. Reapply in
2 weeks to kill emerging lice. It worked like a charm and is
certainly not more dangerous than Sevin dust.. :0) It seems that
there is much trepidation out there about the use of DE but I have
finally wholeheartedly embraced it and feel totally safe about its
use. You can read more about it on this site:
