Here
are 5 potential consequences of burning a mosquito coil every day.
Most houses and workplaces employ mosquito coils. In order
to deter mosquitoes or reduce the possibility that they will bite you, these
coils may contain heavy metals like aluminum, chromium, and tin, pesticides,
the chemical pyrethrin, or fragrant compounds (like citronella). But the toxins
that are released by these mosquito coils can cause diseases.
Here, we discuss a number of ailments and disorders brought on by the routine burning of mosquito coils.
1. Lung
cancer
Mosquito coils contain carcinogens that can damage your
lungs and ultimately increase your risk of developing lung cancer.
2.
Causes COPD and asthma
People with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) should exercise caution. This is true because the burning of mosquito
coils has been linked to coughing fits, breathing issues, and even asthma
attacks.
3.
Migraines
Headaches may be brought on by the materials in the coils.
The vast majority of people who burn a coil get headaches afterward. Using a
coil might not be a smart choice as a result.
4. Skin
sensitivities and rashes
The coils' metal composition might also trigger allergies
and skin rashes. Therefore, use caution when using the coils.
5.
Negative impacts on kids
The coils contain compounds that are dangerous to breathe in
and may contribute to or exacerbate respiratory issues brought on by indoor air
pollution.
They might even aggravate allergies or cause eye irritation.
"The chemicals can cause serious infections, coughing, wheezing,
persistent sneezing, asthma, sore throats, nausea, dizziness, and even asphyxia
in big amounts," cautions Dr. Shah.
The coils can also result in severe burns if they are kept
close to infants or young children. It makes sense that you would not want your
child to be in danger. Additionally, the coils could be inadvertently swallowed
by the infants. Therefore, it is imperative that you refrain from lighting
coils on fire at home in order to protect your child.
Remember the long-term health hazards associated with coil
burning, and refrain from using them regularly, says Dr. Shah.
So keep these suggestions in mind the next time you burn a
mosquito coil inside a building.
