Can pregnant women light mosquito coils when sleeping?

Summer is the most painful thing. The weather is hot and there are a lot of mosquitoes. If we don’t resist the invasion of mosquitoes in time, our skin will become terrible. Especially for pregnant women, their resistance to mosquitoes is even weaker. So how can pregnant women resist mosquito attacks at night? Can pregnant women light mosquito coils before sleeping? Let’s talk about it below.

There are many mosquito repellent products on the market now, including mosquito coils, electric mosquito coils, etc. Although most products are marked as non-toxic and harmless, the ingredients of some mosquito repellent products may have adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses. At the same time, if mosquito coils and other fumigations are used in the room for too long and the air circulation is poor, pregnant women will experience chest tightness and dizziness, which will lead to a decrease in the number of fetal movements and even intra-abdominal fetal hypoxia. Pregnant women should not stay in the room with mosquito coils for too long, and it is best to avoid using mosquito coil products all night; it is best to enter the room after a period of fumigation, or use a mosquito net. To prevent mosquito bites, you can apply mosquito repellent for external use, or put up a mosquito net when sleeping, and wear light-colored clothes.

Mosquito repellent products that produce smoke and odor will have an impact on pregnant women. In addition to using mosquito nets, mosquito lamps can be used. They are green and environmentally friendly, have no smoke pollution, and are harmless to humans. The purple light of authentic mosquito lamps uses the compound eyes of mosquitoes and some insects to attract them to the vicinity of the lamp, and then they are electrocuted to death by the electric grid. The mosquito killer lamp can also be used for general lighting at night, killing two birds with one stone. Mosquitoes are most active at two times a day, one is dusk and the other is dawn. Especially at dusk, doors and windows are open and people come and go frequently. Therefore, lighting mosquito coils at dusk can effectively repel mosquitoes. Because some organic pollutants in mosquito coils may affect the intellectual development of the fetus and easily cause disorders in the brain and nervous system. To avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, pregnant women are advised to hang a mosquito net over the bed when sleeping. You can also use electric mosquito coils in the room. Do not use mosquito coils with strong odors.

If you want to use mosquito coils or insecticides, make sure you do it when no one is indoors to avoid poisoning. You can eat garlic or vitamin B on a regular basis, which will be excreted through sweat, forming an odor that mosquitoes dare not approach. There is some stagnant water in front of and behind the house and indoors, which must be effectively cleared. Only in this way can we prevent mosquito attacks.
