    Every summer, insecticide advertisements are overwhelming, and from time to time you see words and phrases such as "environmentally friendly products are fragrant and pleasant", "harmless to humans and animals", and the poisons specially used to kill insects are not toxic to humans and animals! To date, no insecticide that is non-toxic to humans and animals has been developed in the world. The toxicity of pesticides to humans is acute and chronic.

    Even micro-toxic insecticides are highly toxic to humans and animals. The chronic toxicity of pesticides to humans is comprehensively evaluated by a series of biological tests such as carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, reproduction and delayed neurotoxicity. Don't think that everything will be fine without dizziness, vomiting and other acute poisoning symptoms, its impact on the human body will take a long time to be revealed.

    Even pyrethroid insecticides, which are currently recognized as safe in countries around the world, are also significantly toxic to the body's nervous system, and long-term exposure, even in low doses, can cause nerve paralysis, paresthesia, dizziness and headache and other neurological symptoms. As for those pesticides that belong to organophosphorus, organochlorine and carbamates, they are even more toxic to humans and animals. Not only that, some insecticidal aerosols, insecticidal emulsions, etc., also use more toxic benzene and its homologues as solvents, and long-term human contact will damage the hematopoietic system.

    These solvents have the potential to induce leukemia and bone marrow suppression, and it is no wonder that the number of leukemia patients has increased in recent years. Pay attention to the use of insecticides at home: 1. Try to use pesticides sparingly, or replace them with Chinese herbal medicines that have been used by our ancestors for a long time.

    2. Do not stay in the house where the medicine has been applied, leave immediately after the application of the medicine, and open the doors and windows after an hour and a half to fully ventilate and exhaust before entering. 3. Infants and children should not be exposed to any pesticides to avoid adverse effects on brain development. 4. After applying pesticides, wash your hands, bathe, and change your clothes.

    5. Mosquito coils, mosquito control tablets, cockroach control tablets, etc., are regarded as insecticides. How do I shop for insecticides? 1. Pyrethroid insecticides are safer, and the safety of organochlorine, organophosphorus and carbamate is worse than the former; Among the various pyrethroid insecticides, permethrin, methrin, allethrin and deltamethrin are safer.
