Are mosquito coils generally harmful to the fetus?

Summer is the time when mosquitoes are rampant, and it is also the most painful time for many friends. In particular, many friends are particularly attracted to mosquitoes in summer. Not only will they feel itchy and uncomfortable, but mosquitoes may also spread various diseases. Therefore, many people will use mosquito coils in summer. Are mosquito coils harmful to the fetus?

Mosquitoes can spread dysentery, Japanese encephalitis, hepatitis and many other diseases. It is important to maintain a clean environment around the residence and the baby's room, and to do a good job of mosquito control and prevention. The main ingredient of mosquito coils is insecticide, usually pyrethroids, which are less toxic. However, some mosquito coils are made of organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides, carbamate pesticides, etc. Although these mosquito coils have enhanced mosquito repellent effects, their toxicity is relatively much greater. Generally speaking, mosquito coils should not be used in the baby's room.

Electric mosquito coils are less toxic, but because infants and young children have active metabolism and strong skin absorption capacity, using electric mosquito coils is harmful to children's health. It is best not to use them frequently. If you must use them, place them in a well-ventilated place and avoid using them for a long time.

It is absolutely forbidden to spray insecticide in the baby's room. If an infant inhales excessive amounts of pesticides, he or she will experience acute hemolytic reactions and organ hypoxia, and in severe cases, it may lead to heart failure, organ damage, or conversion to aplastic anemia.

We can use many small methods in life to do this. We can place flowers such as tuberose in the house to repel mosquitoes.
