Mosquitoes are killing me at night and i cant sleep without some protection. We usually keep the fastcard plugged in the room. Now that im pregnant im worried about the fumes, is it safe to keep using or not?
Oh god, that fast card smoke is so strong it drives humans out of the room, let alone mosquitoes! 😂 Better to avoid the smoke, raise the fan speed, or use patches instead. Let's keep the baby away from chemical fumes.
My mother-in-law suggested using sambrani with neem leaves, but my doctor warned against any kind of smoke indoors. So we completely stopped using fastcards. We just used mosquito screens on all windows instead.
Beta, avoid these chemical cards because the smoke is not good to breathe in. Try putting neem oil in a diya or use a mosquito net at night. It is much safer for you and the baby.
Please don't use those fast cards right now. The heavy smoke can cause breathing trouble or nausea, which is already bad in pregnancy. Go for natural sprays or just keep a net over the bed.
Honestly, it's better not to use fast card in closed rooms. Just put a good old mosquito net (machardani) which is cheap and 100% safe. Or you can use those liquid vaporizers but keep windows slightly open.
Definitely a big no. That smoke is toxic for you to inhale right now. Just invest in a good air purifier with mosquito catcher or use safe roll-ons on your clothes. Keep your doors closed in evening.
Actually, most pregnancy apps advise against any burning mosquito repellents due to active chemicals like transfluthrin. Better to use a fabric roll-on or electronic bat. Try keeping a mosquito-repelling plant like lavender near the window.
I remember asking my doc the same thing because mosquitoes in our area were terrible! She strictly said no to fast cards or coils because of the smoke. I switched to roll-on sticks and they worked perfectly fine.
