In summer, the thing that confuses us most is mosquitoes. It can be said that mosquitoes are omnipresent, and mosquitoes like children the most.

It is best not to use too many mosquito coils for babies because the active ingredients of most mosquito coils are pyrethroid insecticides, as well as organic fillers, adhesives, dyes and other additives. The smoke from burning mosquito coils therefore contains many substances that are harmful to the human body and may induce diseases such as asthma.

It is estimated that the amount of particles released by lighting a roll of mosquito coils is roughly the same as the amount of particles released by burning about 100 cigarettes. The ultrafine particles released can enter and remain in the lungs, which may cause asthma in the short term and cancer in the long term. Secondly, there are carcinogens produced by incomplete combustion of the mosquito coil base material, as well as some compounds that irritate the upper respiratory tract, which can poison the human nervous system.

It is best to use safe and natural methods to repel mosquitoes in summer, such as using mosquito nets or screens to keep mosquitoes out; or placing a few opened boxes of cooling oil and wind oil in the bedroom.

There are many small methods in life that can not only repel mosquitoes, but also have no effect on the human body, such as growing flowers such as night-blooming jasmine in the house, and also pay attention to closing the doors and windows.
