Wash the mosquito net with detergent

It happened to me and it wasn't funny one bit. All my face and ears, nose eyes felt they were burning. It lasted for 24hr.

Nothing has happened to me. We are only guided by what we believe.

I no understand ooo

Ha. My people. I had to reactivate my 6 year old dormant account to write this. My eyes are peppery like crazy.
Me! I be nurse! I should know better! Na me dey educate pesin with selense english how e go dey begin use mosquito net. 5months ago. I opened a newly bought treated net. 5months! I spread it for 48hours,Washed it and took it to a tailor and told him to sew it to fit my babys bed! The man complained of the burning sensation. Over the past 5months I washed the net 3TIMES and spread it 3 times. I aired it for 7days before using it last night. Only for me to wake up to the same thing like pepper in my eyes.
I was just begging God to allow my baby wake up in peace, he answered my prayer. She just dey look me dey smile. My face still dey pepper me.

Update:One mosquito just flew by after i removed the net.
What is mosquito bite compared to the feeling I am feeling
This face is on fayaaaaaaa!

Eyaa. I am so sorry about that. I really don't know what causes it, but I don't think it has any adverse effects. I guess you and your child must be free by now. Just wash the net very well and sun dry it to reduce the chemicals.

Thank you @fates. I went through same but now the net is inside washing machine. I no fit kill myself.

oh lol sorry.
You have to wash the net once or twice.
use powder on your face.
takecare

I hope no adverse reaction from using it

did you spread the net under direct sunlight?
if yes, it's wrong.spread it under a not too cold atmosphere.

Good saying that you should ensure you dry your net properly before use but if you want to stop the reactions, read solution in this link https://knowseeker..com/2019/01/how-to-stop-skin-reaction-to-mosquito.html

It really works!

Hey, smoothys. I had the same issue when I installed my net. But the post at https://knowseeker.com/2019/01/how-to-stop-skin-reaction-to-mosquito.html helped relieve the irritations.
Drop your comments if it helps you so that someone else can try it.

Am having the same problem right now,my face is on fire.Thanks for the info

Am going to sock mine for a long time, wash and sun it before using it. To avoid story that touches. All i need is mosquitoes not to kiss my kids n not d hash chemicals. Thanks

This is largely ineffective. Even after about two days of spreading under the sunlight, it can still be seen. Permethrin is the name of the substance. It is a pyrethroid insecticide.

I have used insecticide treated nets for many years now without issues. I relocated to lagos recently and the first thing I noticed was the mosquitoes, they are not like any I've seen before. They are as huge as those small termites.

Long story short. I bought this so called insecticide treated net from a road side vendor. He told me to air it overnight before I use it (which is the usual thing). I opened the net and spread it out in a room in d house for about eight days before I hung it up 2 days ago.

On the first night, I noticed a slight burning sensation on my lips and nose, but I attributed it to the fact that the net was new. This night also, I noticed the same burning sensation, but it kept increasing. Right now, I feel like my whole face is on fire.

I've taken down the net and have thrown it into the washing machine. I've also washed my face but the burning has refused to subside.

Please, I have a 6 month old baby sleeping with me. Would this burning have any adverse effects? What do I use to bring down the pain? Can I still use d net after I have washed it considering the baby?

Oh, the baby is sleeping fine so I'm not sure he feels what I am feeling (I sincerely hope so).

I really need ur help.

spread it inside very hot afternoon sun for like 3-4days straight before you can spread it again for use

Experiencing itchy skin to mosquito net does not mean it is substandard or you are allergic to it.
Mosquito insecticide is often impregnated with pyrethroid, the active ingredient against mosquitoes. This chemical has been found to cause burning skin irritation to most people using mosquito net.
