Does Consumption Of Mosquito Repellent Cause Death?
Question: My room mate drank allout liquid. Will it lead her to die?
Brief Answer:
In well equipped Hospital -May NOT die.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
It is sad to know this.
How much was the quantity you partner must have taken. ( since when the bottle was attached to the machine? Was it a newly opened bottle)
Allout contains Prallethrin and other substances like BHT, Perfume and kerosene.. Prallethrin is very toxic in insects only. Not much toxic in humans and other mammals.
There is no specific antidote for the contents.
The treatment will specifically be depending upon the symptoms and the signs the patient develops.
IF treated properly in a Hospital equipped to handle any emergency , she may not die.
Do not ask her to vomit as it contains kerosene too. Rush to the well equipped hospital. Tell the real story to the Doctors, Take the all-out bottle with the patient to determine the quantity she has consumed.
