Hello,
The mosquito repellent all out contains many harmful chemicals and you might be aware of the fact that it contains prallethrin which is a from the a pyrethroid group.'
Consuming 3 bottles (capacity of bottle 35 cc) can cause effects on the brain, heart, gastrointestinal system and the breathing.
Of the above seizures due to effect on the brain and low blood pressure due to effect on the heart are known to occur in many cases of accidental consumption.

This reply is for educative purpose and no person should try to consume all out. If you know anyone who is attempting to ingest all out, then the person might be suffering from mental stress and needs to consult a psychiatrist.
