Is insect repellent harmful to babies?

If the quality of the mosquito repellent is good, the baby's development is normal, and the mosquito repellent is not used frequently, it may not be harmful to the baby. However, if the quality of the mosquito repellent is poor and it is used frequently, it may be harmful to the baby. Mosquito repellent can play a role in repelling mosquitoes, which contains chemical components such as DEET, IR3535, picaridin, and PMD. If the chosen mosquito repellent is of good quality and used appropriately, it may not cause too much harm to the baby and can also prevent mosquito bites. However, if the chosen mosquito repellent is of poor quality, has an unpleasant odor during use, and the baby's physical development is poor, the harm caused to the baby is generally greater. There may be allergic reactions, as well as symptoms such as chest tightness, headache, dizziness, suffocation, etc., which can affect the baby's development. If multiple physical discomforts occur during the use of mosquito repellent, it is necessary to stop using it promptly and seek medical treatment. In daily life, it is also necessary to pay more attention to the baby's physical growth and development. Better mosquito repellent patches can be used, or mosquito nets can be used for mosquito repellency. In addition, appropriate outdoor activities can promote calcium absorption in the body, enhance physical fitness, and also pay attention to a light diet.
