How to repel mosquitoes and relieve itching during pregnancy

It is not recommended for pregnant women to use products such as mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes during pregnancy, because mosquito coils contain certain chemical substances that will have a certain impact on pregnant women and fetuses, so they still need to be chosen with caution. Pregnant women can use electric mosquito swatters or mosquito nets to repel mosquitoes.

What mosquito repellent is good for pregnant women

If health factors are considered, you should try to avoid using mosquito repellent products containing chemical substances. You can install screens on windows, use electric mosquito swatters, mosquito nets, mosquito lamps and other physical methods to drive away mosquitoes. Physical methods are especially best for pregnant women and children.

Electric mosquito coils cause relatively little pollution. The main ingredients of mosquito repellent products include pyrethroids and mosquito repellent chemical additives, which can effectively kill mosquitoes, but some harmful substances may be produced during the combustion and volatilization process. Traditional disc-shaped mosquito coils will release trace amounts of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, benzene and other organic pollutants during combustion and volatilization, causing indoor air pollution. Long-term exposure may cause discomfort to the human body. Therefore, be sure to keep the room ventilated when using mosquito coils.

"Many people turn on the air conditioner when they sleep in the summer. It is recommended to light mosquito coils and open the windows for ventilation before going to bed, and then close the doors and windows and turn on the air conditioner after a while." Some inferior mosquito coils may contain harmful ingredients, and the smoke emitted during burning is toxic, causing symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. Therefore, when purchasing mosquito coils, citizens should choose products with approval numbers and produced by regular manufacturers. Do not place mosquito coils too close to the human body. People with respiratory diseases or allergies to irritating odors should use mosquito coils with caution. "Among these chemical mosquito repellent products, I think electric mosquito coils are better." In addition, both electric mosquito coils and liquids are emitted through heating, with relatively small concentrations, no smoke is produced, little air pollution, and are relatively safe to use.

Pregnant women and children can use electric mosquito swatters and mosquito nets

"Pregnant women and children are particularly sensitive to the environment. The irritating ingredients in mosquito repellent products may cause harm to the respiratory tract, skin, and mucous membranes. Therefore, pregnant women and children should not use mosquito repellent products and use natural mosquito repellent methods instead." In places where there are many mosquitoes, you can install screens and hang mosquito nets at home, or put a few boxes of uncovered cooling oil and wind oil in the bedroom. You can also use tools such as electric mosquito swatters and mosquito repellent lamps, or place plants such as night-blooming jasmine and Milan that can repel mosquitoes with their smell. Since floral water contains Chinese medicinal ingredients such as musk and mint, the pregnant uterus will be more sensitive than the non-pregnant uterus. Use by pregnant women may increase the risk of miscarriage. Therefore, it is not advisable to use floral water to relieve itching. In addition, people with skin or alcohol allergies should not use it.
