Chrysanthemums Pyrethrum

I did a search here and it came up empty.
Does anyone here plant chrysanthemums in your vegetable garden or use pyrethrum extract straight?

Hi, We had a Dust for mites for the animals that contained Chrysenthemums. Our youngest daughter broke out it a rash you wouldn't believe, as a result of coming in contact with it, and the mites didn't like it at all.

Not sure if it's even looked upon as a true organic element in a garden, just wondering what others thought about it.

Sounds like your daughter is allergic to it at the very least.
