Are mosquito coils harmful to babies?

I believe that many families use mosquito coils in their daily lives, because mosquito repellent is a relatively important thing. Mosquito bites can easily lead to the spread of some bacteria and viruses. However, because the use of some mosquito coils can affect our health in many cases, especially for babies, we need to pay more attention to avoid the effects of mosquito coils. The following will give you a detailed introduction to the hazards of mosquito coils.

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.

Tips:

In summer, it is best for babies to use physical methods such as screen doors, screen windows, and mosquito nets to avoid mosquitoes.

Mosquito bites in summer are not good for babies, but if mosquito coils are not used correctly, they are also not good for the baby's health. Therefore, every parent needs to have a more comprehensive understanding of these common sense, choose mosquito coils with lighter odors and relatively less toxicity, or use electric mosquito swatters to repel mosquitoes.
