Our society is planning mosquito fogging, and I'm worried about the chemicals for my baby. Is mosquito fogging generally considered safe for pregnant women and their unborn babies?
My husband always says to avoid chemical fumes during pregnancy. The pesticides used in fogging aren't safe to inhale directly. Just stay indoors with windows closed for at least an hour after they do it.
Because of my PCOS, I was extra protective about everything during my pregnancy. I avoided all toxic fumes and didn't even use strong chemical coils at home. Safe to stay indoors during those hours.
My tracker app actually had a article on environmental hazards. It clearly said to avoid direct exposure to pest control and fogging. Keep doors shut and use natural mosquito repellents inside.
Whenever society wallas do fogging, my saas makes me sit in the inner bedroom with AC on. She says those fumes are too strong for the baby. Better to listen to elders and stay inside.
Bacha, please avoid standing outside or near windows when they do fogging. Those chemicals are quite strong and can cause breathing discomfort. Go to another room and shut the doors until the smell is gone.
I stayed far away from the balcony whenever our society did mosquito fogging. Honestly, the strong smell made me very nauseous anyway. Better to be safe and avoid breathing that air.
