Mosquito repellants usually contain allethrin or preallethrin which are neurotoxic. Although no specific antidotes are available, it is important to monitor carefully so that adverse effects can be managed at the earliest. So, if your child has consumed mosquito repellant, you need to urgently take him/her to the ER of a hospital.
