Is It Seriousif Ingested A Mosquito Repellent By 20 Month Old?
Hi,
My 20 month baby just ingested a mosquito repellent (transfluthrin 1.6% w/w) in minute quantity (sucked the tip). He is behaving normally but we have made him a glass of water, kindly advise further action.

Dear Ms Arshi
It will not cause any harm. I commonly see such cases where accidentally many babies have ingested it. There has been no issues in any babies.
It would be more advisable to be cautious and keep such things away from toddlers.
