Should I re-spray my clothing with permethrin?
I am going camping tomorrow, and I sprayed my clothing with sawyer premium insect repellent (permethrin) around twilight yesterday. It had a chance to dry overnight outside (so about 10-12 hrs before the sun came up again), but I forgot to take it back in until around 1 PM this morning. It's pretty hot out today, around 85 F and full sun, and these clothes were out in the full sun for the most part. Some clothes were in the shade but most were in the sun, and those that were in the shade still smell slightly of permethrin, while those in the sun have virtually no smell, though I can feel a change in the clothing feel/weight. They were all quite warm when I finally took them all inside, though.
I wanna be sure that I am still protected and I saw online that the sun degrades permethrin while drying. Was overnight long enough to let the permethrin to dry fully, or should I give it another lighter spray to make sure it's covered? Thanks for any info you can provide!
