Permethrin is effective against multiple species of crawling and flying insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, bedbugs, chiggers, and flies. Mercy is on a five-month deployment during which it will visit areas of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands where its crew and several health and civic-related organizations will work together to aid in humanitarian and civic efforts. Like all US Naval forces, Mercy is able to rapidly respond to a range of situations on short notice. Mercy is uniquely capable of supporting medical and humanitarian assistance needs and has been configured with special medical equipment and a robust multi-specialized medical team to provide a range of services ashore as well as on board the ship. The medical staff is augmented with assistance crews, many of whom are part of non-governmental organizations and have significant medical capabilities.
