Watch out for poison! Use less mosquito-repellent incense and pesticides to kill mosquitoes.

The hot and humid environment in summer is suitable for mosquito breeding. When people sleep at night, if they are suddenly awakened by the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings, or bitten, red, swollen and itchy, they will generally curse over and over again. According to the Consumer Education Foundation, many people will use poisonous mosquito-repellent incense or pesticides to eliminate these "little vampires", which will be harmful to their health in the long run. It is suggested to use natural dried orange peel or Liu Ding peel instead to avoid mosquitoes safely.

According to the Consumer Foundation, orange peel contains a special smell, which can repel mosquitoes and reduce the chance of human being being bitten. On the 30th, the Consumer Foundation quoted Consumer Report magazine as saying that mosquito-repellent incense burns incompletely, and its volatile aromatic organic compounds are toxic and may cause cancer. The United States stipulates that mosquito-repellent incense cannot be used indoors. And if you light mosquito-repellent incense all night, it will consume oxygen in the air, making people feel depressed, dizzy and even want to vomit when they get up the next day.

As for the mosquito-killing pesticides that people often use, they are also threatening. If the human body is exposed to too much in an instant, it may cause blurred vision, dizziness, nerve damage or muscle trembling. If it remains on the cup and plate, eating it will also lead to sore tongue; Long-term contact will also bring harm to people's nerves, brains and other systems.

Which way can avoid the interference of mosquitoes without endangering human health? According to the foundation elimination association, orange peel has a special smell, which can repel mosquitoes. It is suggested that dried orange peel or Liu Ding peel can be put into a * * * bag and a tea filter bag, and then put in a corner to repel mosquitoes. Or, put orange peel, grapefruit peel or Liu Ding peel into medical alcohol with a purity of about 70%, soak it for about a week, and spray it in the corner to prevent mosquitoes and ants. However, this natural anti-mosquito liquid is only used in some small spaces.

What should I do if I am bitten by mosquitoes after all the anti-mosquito measures have been taken? The foundation will say that at this time, it is necessary to use clean equipment to ice compress, shrink blood vessels and reduce the redness and itching of the skin; You can apply anti-inflammatory and antipruritic ointment after ice compress. If the swelling and pain become more and more serious, ice compress and ointment are ineffective, and it can't be improved in a day or two, you should see a doctor. However, it should be noted that the freezing time should not exceed 10 minute to avoid frostbite.
