What Are the Hazards Associated with Mosquito Coils?

Mosquito coils are low-toxic pesticides, and improper use may cause harm to the body, such as respiratory system damage, nervous system damage, and allergic reactions. Specific conditions should be consulted with a doctor for understanding. 1. Respiratory system damage: Mosquito coils contain certain toxicity and may produce smoke after burning. If used improperly, inhalation may cause damage to the respiratory mucosa, induce local congestion and edema, and be accompanied by respiratory diseases such as pharyngitis and bronchitis. Patients may clinically present symptoms such as cough, sputum production, and chest tightness. 2. Nervous system damage: Mosquito coils contain harmful components such as phenol and xylene. After inhalation, these harmful gases may cause damage to the nervous system, and clinically, symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and confusion may appear. 3. Allergic reactions: Mosquito coils have a certain degree of irritation and contain harmful substances. After use, they may cause damage to the immune system and usually trigger allergic reactions such as skin rashes, itching, and chest tightness. To avoid the above situations, it is recommended to purchase mosquito coils of good quality, use them correctly, and maintain indoor ventilation to avoid affecting physical health.
