At present, all kinds of mosquito repellent products on the market contain these five main ingredients:
1: DEET
2: Picari Ding:
3: Lemon Eucalyptus Oil:
4: Imonin
5: Pyrethroids
Among them Esters are the most toxic to mosquitoes and the cheapest, and are the main components of almost all non-contact mosquito coils and electric mosquito coils on the market.
A wide variety of pyrethroid compounds, such as pyrethrin, permethrin (i.e. permethrin), tetramethrin, cypermethrin ( That is, off white can), deltamethrin, dextro-trans allethrin and so on.
These derivatives are all pesticides recommended by the World Health Organization for making mosquito coils, controlling hygienic pests and their vectors. Therefore, as long as it is used according to the instructions, there is no danger of poisoning to humans.
Because the human liver has the ability to metabolize these compounds into non-toxic or low-toxic substances for excretion, similar to the human physique, although the dog is small, the liver also has the ability to remove this chrysanthemum. capacity of esters.
As a result, many dog flea collars also contain low levels of pyrethroids. But cats do not have the ability to metabolize pyrethroids!
If people and dogs inhale a small amount of pyrethroid, it can be slowly removed without causing harm to the body.
However, even if a cat person inhales a small amount of pyrethroid, it will stay in the body almost completely, and it is difficult to be metabolized. These components will cause long-term damage to the cat person, and it is difficult to recover after being poisoned.
Therefore, don’t blindly allow cats to have access to mosquito repellents for humans, even for dogs.
Similar to the symptoms of discomfort caused by excessive inhalation of mosquito coils, cats after “poisoning” can be expressed as :
1. Drooling
2. Walking crooked
3. Excessive excitement, convulsions
4. Vomiting
5. Loss of appetite
If the cat has the above symptoms, the owner should immediately send the cat to the veterinarian for emergency treatment, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the cat’s body.
However, due to the special physique of cats. Even professional treatment will only relieve the cat’s poisoning symptoms for a short period of time.
The long-term removal of toxins requires multiple dialysis, and the physical and mental harm to cats and owners is immeasurable.
Therefore, owners should start from the source to avoid cat damage.
1. Pay special attention to or refuse to use various items containing pyrethroids.
2. Wash your hands after the owner applies mosquito repellent products, keep a distance from the cat, and try not to let the cat rub the medicine on the fur.
3. Don’t put the dog deworming medicine and flea ring on the cat owner casually.
4. Don’t arbitrarily buy “three-no” Mosquito repellent products from the Internet that do not indicate the ingredients and dosage.
