If you have the habit of lighting mosquito coil every night to wipe out mosquitoes, then hold on! You might as well wipe out yourself!

We humans = living beings

In another study conducted at the Taiwanese Institute of Medicine, it was found that a staggering 50%of the lung cancer deaths in Taiwan not as a result of cigarette smoke, but mosquito coil.
Pyrethrum is the major constituent of a mosquito coil. This chemical stings the mosquitoes in their eyes and makes them blind. Its working method, if you ask me. This is how it ‘protects’ us from the annoying gnaws of mosquitoes.
