A member asked:
Is d-allethrin (chemical used in thermacell mosquito repellent) safe to breathe outdoors? thermacell is a device that emits this chemical outdoors in a gas canister. any long term health effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would go to drugs.com and see what they say. Then go to manufact web site and read. Would also check with CDC. Need to weigh the risks of getting mosquito transmitted diseases where you live vs risks of using this product. I would think it is never 100% safe to "breath" it.
