Do you mean people should wear PPE when in tick infested areas?

I generally wear pants, full sleeve shirts, long socks etc whenever I go hiking but have still found ticks on me later on. Or do you mean something else by PPE?

No, i mean not wearing PPE while spraying pesticides. Most of them wear gloves. Maybe long sleeve shirt/pants. Respirator/masks are very rare.

Permethrin is not well absorbed through skin anyway (0.5-1%). But easily absorbed by breathing it.
