Pesticide-treated clothes proposed to control malaria (2)
---------------------------------------------------------

Note that the insecticides on the clothing, permethrin, would wear out quickly, especially if the clothes were washed with detergent.  It's not a cost-effective solution compared with DDT, which only needs to be sprayed once or twice a year to protect the whole family.
