Adverse Mosquito

Who is not annoyed by the sound of mosquitoes at night. Feeling was so disturbed sleep due to ringing sound and bite. Especially for the little guy. He became awakened by a mosquito bite, then became fussy.
Well, because the child did not want to disturbed sleep, we usually use mosquito. Whether in the form of spray, fuel, and electrical topical. "In principle, all coils have the same efficacy, to kill and repel mosquitoes. Difference is only in the packaging and concentration of active ingredients or toxic substances," said dr.H. Bambang Supriyatno, Sp.A (K), lung consultant physician child, from the Faculty of medicine / Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta.

But you know the mother and father that the mosquito could be a "threat" to us? Especially if your child including children who are sensitive or insensitive.

Why mosquito dangerous to humans? Because it contains active ingredients including organophosphate class. This active ingredient is dimethyl Dichlorovynil phosfat (DDVP), Propoxur (carbamate) and Diethyltoluamide, which is a kind of insect killer insecticide.

Indeed, as explained Bambang Supriyatno, who also practice at the Clinic Cinere My son, not all of the active ingredient was pure. That is, there are additional substances. "Whether it's coloring, preservatives, or fragrances. So, as ingridien in food. Mixture additive had to give a certain fragrance, because the active ingredient is generally less savory smells." Well, I tell you, these additional materials also impact the health. So, pleated gandalah harm the mosquito's.

Toxins found in all kinds of mosquito repellent. "The mosquito coils, spray, and electric are more likely to kill mosquitoes. While on topical repellent more on prevention, which repel mosquitoes," said Bambang.

Although the same excrete toxins, each dose of mosquito different from each other. Judging in terms of concentration or composition, the active ingredient in insect repellent consisting of mild to severe concentration. Of the less toxic to more toxic.

What is clear, it all depends on the concentration levels of toxins and the amount of usage. For example, the levels of 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 endanger human health

The greatest risk found in mosquito coils because they directly emit fumes that can be inhaled. While the liquid insect repellent spray has a different concentration, because the fluid released will be converted into gas. That is, a smaller dose. While electric mosquito smaller, because it works by removing the smoke but with electrical power.

Thus, the smaller the dose of the active ingredient, the less well the odor generated. Simultaneously, the more minimal the likelihood disrupt human comfort.

Generally, the active ingredient used in insect repellent is a fast and highly toxic biodegradable high, in the sense of deadly mosquitoes quickly. However, the use of insect repellent that is not correct, it can be harmful to health. How much impact depends on the type, number, age and material mixtures.

Infants and toddlers can be said to be susceptible to insect repellent. This may happen because of his organs have not been perfect, his endurance is not good, the cough reflex was not good, and so on. In fact, it can be even more dangerous in children who have allergies and asthma flair.
"The active ingredient of insect repellent into the body, either through breathing or skin, into the bloodstream. Once it spreads to the body's cells. Anyone to the breath, to the brain through the central nervous system, and others. Nah, organ which are sensitive to it because that's what will terkena.Tentunya mosquito sniffs more on the role once it was breathing. Meanwhile, if through the skin depends on the power of his skin sensitivity or sensibility, "said Bambang.
Thus, disturbances in the body's organs can occur, when the use of insect repellent that is used in uncontrolled doses. Children who have allergic reactions will be more shows. Especially the breathing tract. He will more easily cough. This occurs due to respiratory defense mechanisms disorder, caused by inhalation of active ingredient.
In it there is an airway epithelial or lining the respiratory tract. Well, this epithelium has cilia like hair shakes that serves to remove something. For example, there are secretions (mucus), foreign bodies in the airways. This thing must be issued to the top with the help of cilia that sweep like a wave, because the active ingredient was not the germs, but is irritating substances. Epithelial cells was more easily damaged as well as silianya. If both are broken, the objects can not be washed earlier. In addition, cells in the bottom layer was also affected so thick mucus or fluid. As a result of subsequent airway so slightly constricted, as nerve-nerve disturbed. "Because epithelial cilia is damaged, the body attempts to remove secretions or foreign objects are active. Trick with cough. Complaint is often the case," said Bambang.
The 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, she was coughing. But there is also a new six-hour after coughing. Repellent can also be a trigger of asthma. The impact is seen in children who have asthma talent.
Another case in children who have sensitive skin. When exposed to the ingredients contained in insect repellent, especially of additives, the skin will be red. And while there will be carded blister and may be eczema.
