I live in a very very hot and humid area. while appyling permethrin lotion 5% i sweat a lot. will this affect application? do i switch on cold air on ac ?

The lotion is a neurotoxin to the system of the parasite and should work well if you are sweating or comfortable or not. I would opt for remaining in a comfortable environment since the itching of the affliction is worse when hot.
