I wish the heck , let your baby can sleep soundly without interruption mosquitoes . However , be careful , lo , he is still susceptible to drug-induced toxic mosquito .
Because the child does not want to disturbed sleep , we usually use insect repellent . Whether in the form of a spray , burn , topical , or electrically. " In principle , all coils have the same properties , to kill and repel mosquitoes . Difference is only in the packaging and the concentration of active ingredients or toxic substances , " said Dr. H. Bambang Supriyatno SpA Cipto Mangunkusumo .
However , mothers and fathers know that the mosquito could be a " threat " to us ? Especially if your child including child -sensitive or sensitive . various risk
Why mosquito dangerous to humans ? Because insect repellent containing the active ingredient including organophosphate class . The active ingredient is dichlorovynil dimethyl phosphate (DDVP ) , propoxur (carbamate), and diethyltoluamide , which is a type of insect killer insecticide .
Indeed , as explained Bambang Supriyatno , not all of the active ingredient was pure . That is, no additional substances . " Whether it's coloring , preservatives , or fragrances . So , as ingridien in food . Mixture was additive to provide certain fragrances because the active ingredient is generally less savory smells . " Well , I tell you , these additional materials also impact the health . Thus , the adverse effects of the drug berlipatgandalah this mosquito."Toxins found in all types of mosquito repellent. " In the mosquito coils , spray , and electric are more likely to kill mosquitoes , while the more topical insect repellent on prevention , which repel mosquitoes , " said Bambang .
Despite issuing the same toxic substances , the dose of each drug is different from each other mosquitoes . Judging in terms of concentration or composition , the active ingredient in insect repellent made from mild to severe concentration , of which less toxic to more toxic .
Clearly , it all depends on the concentration of the poison and the amount of usage . For example, the concentration of the active ingredient may be a little mosquito spray , but if sprayed repeatedly levels will certainly increase. Insect repellent that has such levels may be lethal mosquitoes quickly , but harmful to human health .
There are at greatest risk of mosquito coils because they directly produce smoke that can be inhaled . While mosquito repellent spray is a liquid having a different concentration as the liquid is converted to gas released . That is, a smaller dose . While smaller electric mosquito repellent because works by removing smoke , but with electrical power .
Thus , the smaller the dose of the active substance material , the smaller the odor generated . Simultaneously , the lack of the possibility of human disturb . Coughing be a sign
Infants and young children can be said to be susceptible to insect repellent . This may happen because of his organs have not been perfect , his endurance has not been good , the cough reflex was not good , and so on . In fact , it could be dangerous to children who have allergies and asthma flair .
" The active ingredient of insect repellent into the body , either through breathing or skin , into the bloodstream . Having it spread in the body's cells . Someone to breathing , to the brain through the central nervous system , and others. Nah , organ which is sensitive , then that is what will be affected . obviously because the mosquito is more sniffs , then most acts once was breathing . Meanwhile, if through the skin depends on the sensitivity or sensitivity of his skin , "said Bambang .
Thus , disturbances in body organs can occur if the drug is controlled so that the mosquitoes are not used in excessive doses .
Children who have allergic reactions to more shows , especially in the breathing tract . It will be easier cough . This occurs because the airway defense mechanisms disorder , caused by inhalation of active ingredient .
Drug reaction Mosquitoes
Reaction can occur rapidly , can also slow . In children with sensitive respiratory organs , the reaction can then or arise in a few minutes . Once inhaled the smell of insect repellent , he immediately coughed . However , there is also a new after six hours of coughing. Mosquito coils can also be asthma triggers . The impact is seen in children who have asthma talent .
Another case in children who have sensitive skin . If exposed to the ingredients contained in insect repellent , especially of additives , the skin will be reddish . And , when there will be carded blisters and could possibly be eczema .
