There are more mosquitoes and insects in summer, which can easily affect people's normal sleep, so mosquito coils are often used to repel mosquitoes and insects. However, when mosquito coils burn, they produce smoke and odor, which often raises concerns for pregnant women about affecting the health of the fetus. So, is mosquito repellent incense harmful to pregnant women?
1. If it is a legitimate mosquito coil and used correctly according to the instructions, it will not pose significant harm to the human body. For example, whether the burning time of mosquito coils matches the size of the room, not using mosquito coils in excessively enclosed rooms, and not using them for a long time, as long as they are used correctly and safely, the impact on pregnant women is generally not significant.
2. But if the room is very small, and the air conditioning is closed without ventilation, and there is prolonged burning of mosquito coils, this will inevitably affect the physical health of pregnant women. So when using mosquito coils, it is important to purchase legitimate products and use them correctly. It is also necessary to open windows for ventilation in moderation to avoid adverse effects on pregnancy health.
3. However, some pregnant women, due to their sensitive constitution and sensitivity to obvious odors after pregnancy, are also prone to allergic reactions caused by the smoke from mosquito repellent burning, which may worsen pregnancy reactions. If pregnant women have this condition, do not use mosquito coils anymore. It is recommended to use physical methods such as electric mosquito swatters or mosquito nets to repel and avoid mosquitoes, which are relatively safer.
