Can we talk a little more about this object? At the moment I don’t think I know much about it other than that it is used to ward off mosquitoes, gnats and something else. You know that spiral-shaped object, usually green in colour that is lit with a flame and continues to burn for hours releasing that unpleasant smell into the air? But what happens to the human body when it is inhaled? And to dogs? the smell it gives off speaks volumes, it doesn’t seem to be healthy for us either. have you ever gone to that friend or relative’s house who keeps it on the table and you are forced to breathe in this obscenity even for a few hours? The straw that broke the camel’s back was my mother-in-law, she had 3 of them lit at the same time IN THE HOUSE. Here I would like to create a debate to prove my point. Thank you all for reading

Mosquito Coils, and you are correct in that they are not to be used indoors.
I’ve always wondered the same about those coils. Grew up seeing them everywhere during summer, but never really questioned what’s getting released into the air. That smell definitely lingers, and it can’t be great to breathe in for hours ESPECIALLY indoors. Not sure about the dog part, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it affects them too. Might be worth digging into what’s actually in those things beyond “mosquito repellent.”
