Beta-Cypermethrin is very toxic to cats which cannot tolerate the therapeutic doses for dogs.

This is associated with UGT1A6 deficiency in cats, the enzyme responsible for metabolizing beta-cypermethrin. As a consequence,

beta-cypermethrin remains much longer in the cat's organs than in dogs or other mammals and can be fatal in large doses.

In male rats cypermethrin was shown to exhibit a toxic effect on the reproductive system.

After 15 days of continual dosing, both androgen receptor levels and serum testosterone levels were significantly reduced.

These data suggested that beta-cypermethrin can induce impairments of the structure of seminiferous tubules and

spermatogenesis in male rats at high doses

Long-term exposure to cypermethrin during adulthood is found to induce dopaminergic neurodegeneration in rats,

and postnatal exposure enhances the susceptibility of animals to dopaminergic neurodegeneration if rechallenged during adulthood.

If exposed to cypermethrin during pregnancy, rats give birth to offspring with developmental delays.

In male rats exposed to beta-cypermethrin, the proportion of abnormal sperm increases.

It causes genetic damage: chromosomal abnormalities increased in bone marrow and spleen cells when mice were exposed to

beta- cypermethrin.  Beta-Cypermethrin is classified as a possible human carcinogen,

because it causes an increase in the frequency of lung tumors in female mice.

Beta-Cypermethrin has been linked to an increase in bone marrow micronuclei in both mice and humans
