There are two types of synthetic pyrethroids 1) light unstable and 2) light stable synthetics. The first class, of which bioresmethrin or phenothrin are examples, were discovered in different laboratories around the world. These fast acting agents are primary used for specialty purposes in non-agricultural markets like public health, animal health and consumer. The preparation of a the first slight unstable synthetic pyrethroid, bioresmethrin, is attributed to Dr. Michael Elliott at the UK Agricultural Laboratory at Rothamstead England in 1967. The second class of which permethrin cypermethrin and deltamethrin are examples were also discovered by Dr. Elliott in the early 1970's. These halogenated derivatives proved to be light stable. Licenses for commercial use of these discoveries were made to several chemical companies who developed them for both agricultural and specialty uses.

What is something synthetic?

If you're talking about synthetic elements, something like Californium would count. You can spot these synthetic elements at the bottom of the periodic table under "Lanthanides and Actanides". Basically, it's anything over Mass Number 94 and they decay very quickly. If you're talking about the other sort of synthetic "substance", then I suggest Nylon or Polyester.

Although highly toxic to our feline friends the cat, it has a low toxicity to most mammals. Care should be taken when disposing of this chemical as it is also highly toxic to fish.

How regular can you use Permethrin cream without side effects?

Permethrin is designed to kill insects and other non-mammals. It is not very toxic for humans. It is also poorply absorbed through the skin.
