One can guess that the primary source of release of the chemical is not by rubbing yourself on things, but from washing your clothes. Thus, it would end up in the oceans.
When the alternative is Lyme Disease? I'm not giving it up. My cousin is severely affected by it right now, in her brain, affecting everything. It's awful.
You can get Japanese Knotweed powder from Montana Farmacy. It helped a friend of mine he is now functional. One or two tablespoons a day.
The ocean has a lot of water in it, and it is unlikely to be deadly at such low concentrations.
It would be so dilute by that point that it would not be worth worrying about.
More important than the concentration it degrades fairly quickly in water.
