Symptoms of mosquito coil poisoning
Generally, symptoms of mosquito coil poisoning include dry eyes and nasal mucosa discomfort, coughing and sneezing, skin redness, swelling, and itching, dizziness or headache, nausea, and vomiting. If necessary, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Dry eyes and nasal mucosa discomfort: For inhalation poisoning, mild cases may present with dry eyes and nasal mucosa discomfort. Leaving the environment with mosquito coil smoke and breathing fresh air in an open area can usually relieve these symptoms.
2. Coughing and sneezing: Chemical substances released when mosquito coils burn may irritate the respiratory mucosa, causing symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. In severe cases, asthma attacks or laryngeal edema might be induced, further worsening breathing difficulties.
3. Skin redness, swelling, and itching: Some individuals may have allergic reactions to ingredients in mosquito coils, which can cause skin redness, swelling, and itching after contact. Additionally, if mosquito coil liquid spills onto the skin, it may also lead to allergic reactions and itching.
3. Dizziness or headache: Certain chemical substances in mosquito coils may affect the normal functioning of the nervous system, causing symptoms such as dizziness and headache. As poisoning progresses, more severe neurological symptoms like confusion and coma may occur, potentially endangering life.
4. Nausea and vomiting: Mosquito coil poisoning may also cause gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea and vomiting. This is due to the irritation of gastrointestinal mucosa by toxins, affecting normal gastrointestinal motility and digestion, leading to food regurgitation and discomfort. In severe cases, diarrhea and abdominal pain may also occur.
If symptoms of mosquito coil poisoning appear, discontinue use immediately and move to a place with fresh and well-ventilated air. If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical treatment is necessary to prevent irreversible damage to the body. When using mosquito coils, ensure proper indoor ventilation and control the duration and quantity of use.
