    Mosquito coils themselves are a mild dose of poison, and because the dose is very light, it works on mosquitoes and is less harmful to the human body.

    Mosquito coils: Mosquito coils are a common method used by people to repel mosquitoes. The main component of mosquito coils is insecticides, usually pyrethroids, which are less toxic.

    However, some mosquito coils use organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides, carbamate pesticides, etc., although this kind of mosquito coil increases the mosquito repellent effect, but the toxicity is relatively much greater. In addition, the smoke of mosquito coils can make babies feel uncomfortable, and even smokeless mosquito coils will inevitably have smoke. Under normal circumstances, because the respiratory system of infants and young children is not yet fully developed, the absorption capacity of ** is strong, so mosquito coils should not be used in the room.

    Electric mosquito coil: The principle of electric mosquito coil is to inhale the insecticide into the paper and use the hot air to evaporate the pyrethroid. Although pyrethroids are less toxic and safer, electric mosquito coils have strong lethality to microorganisms after all, so families with infants and young children should try not to use them.

    If you use an electric mosquito coil in your baby's room, try to keep it in a well-ventilated area and don't use it for a long time.
