Is it true that electric mosquito repellent liquid harms the liver? Can it still be used? What should be done to repel mosquitoes?

The 'annoyance' that never leaves every summer - mosquitoes, has already taken the lead. In tropical and subtropical regions, mosquitoes work almost year-round, causing many troubles to people's lives. Mosquito bites not only cause skin redness, swelling, and itching, but more importantly, as vectors of disease transmission, they may carry viruses and parasites, posing a serious threat to human health. Therefore, finding effective mosquito repellent methods has become a focus of people's attention. In order to resist these unwelcome guests, electric mosquito repellent has become the first choice for many families. Do you really understand its mosquito repellent principle? Do you know how to use it scientifically?

I. Composition and Mosquito Repellent Principle

The main component of electric mosquito repellent is pyrethroids, which are natural insecticides extracted from pyrethroids.

Pyrethroids have neurotoxicity and can interfere with the nervous system of mosquitoes, causing them to become paralyzed, faint, and lose their ability to bite humans. This is also the principle behind why electric mosquito repellent can effectively repel mosquitoes. The composition of electric mosquito repellent liquid produced by different manufacturers may vary. Some manufacturers may add other chemical components such as kerosene and deodorizing solvent oil to mosquito repellent liquid in order to enhance mosquito repellent effect or reduce costs. Therefore, when choosing electric mosquito repellent liquid, consumers should carefully check the product ingredient list to ensure that they have purchased a safe and effective product. Is it true that electric mosquito repellent liquid can harm the liver? Although electric mosquito repellent has significant effectiveness in repelling mosquitoes, prolonged inhalation or contact with mosquito repellent may pose certain hazards to the human body.

Research has shown that prolonged inhalation of mosquito repellent liquid may cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, may even lead to liver toxicity and neurotoxic reactions. To ensure the safety of using electric mosquito repellent, consumers need to pay attention to the following points:

Try to choose well-known brands, low toxicity, and non irritating electric mosquito repellent products. When purchasing, carefully check the product label and instructions to ensure that the product complies with relevant national standards. Special populations such as the elderly, pregnant women, infants and young children should avoid using electric mosquito repellent. Their bodies are more sensitive and fragile, so it is recommended to use safer mosquito repellent methods, such as using mosquito nets, screens, and other physical barriers.

When using electric mosquito repellent, good indoor ventilation should be maintained. Avoid prolonged use of mosquito repellent in a sealed environment to reduce human inhalation of harmful gases.

It is recommended to control the usage time reasonably, and the daily use of electric mosquito repellent should not exceed 8 hours. When not in use, the electric mosquito repellent liquid heater should be turned off in a timely manner to avoid excessive evaporation of mosquito repellent liquid due to prolonged heating. Thirdly, mosquitoes pose a great threat and must be prevented. As a vector for disease transmission, mosquitoes can carry and spread various viruses and parasites. Among them, diseases such as malaria and Japanese encephalitis pose a serious threat to human health. Malaria is mainly transmitted through mosquito bites, and patients may experience symptoms such as periodic fever and chills after infection; Japanese encephalitis is a viral encephalitis transmitted by mosquitoes. After infection, patients may experience symptoms such as high fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, death. In addition to the two aforementioned diseases, mosquitoes may also transmit other diseases such as filariasis, dengue fever, and yellow fever. It is crucial to do a good job in mosquito prevention during the active season of mosquitoes in summer.

By using safe and effective mosquito repellent products, maintaining indoor cleanliness and hygiene, wearing long sleeves and pants, and other measures to reduce the risk of mosquito bites, we can protect our own and our family's health. Although mosquitoes are small, they can cause significant trouble. Electric mosquito repellent liquid, as a commonly used mosquito repellent tool in modern households, has been widely recognized for its effectiveness and convenience. As the ancients said, 'When things reach their extreme, they will turn against each other.' While enjoying the refreshing mosquito free environment it brings, we also need to be alert to its potential safety hazards. After understanding the ingredients, mosquito repellent principles, and precautions when using electric mosquito repellent, we can use this product more wisely and safely, creating a healthy and comfortable living environment for our families without mosquito bites. Scientific use of electric mosquito repellent liquid makes summer more peaceful.
