Question
My child has been crying and not eating much recently. Does mosquito repellent affect babies?
Answer
It is not recommended to apply mosquito repellent directly to or spray it on a baby’s skin. If you must use it, it should be diluted with five times the amount of water, or a few drops can be added to the water during a bath. Additionally, mosquito repellent contains alcohol, so please keep children away from open flames after use.
