| Dear
Sir/Madam, We extend our sincere gratitude for choosing Pantai Hospital Malaysia for your healthcare requirements. Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiry. We understand your concern regarding the safety of using an electric mosquito killer for your toddler who has G6PD deficiency. G6PD deficiency is a condition where certain triggers, including certain chemicals and medications, can cause red blood cells to break down, leading to haemolytic anaemia. While electric mosquito killers generally do not contain substances known to trigger haemolytic episodes, we advise caution when using any device that could potentially release chemicals into the air. Most electric mosquito killers work by emitting light or using electric grids, which do not directly interact with the skin or produce harmful chemical residues. However, if the device uses chemical repellents or attractants, we recommend avoiding them, as some chemical compounds may pose a risk for individuals with G6PD deficiency. It is always a good practice to verify the product details regarding any chemical components it may emit. We recommend consulting your paediatrician or a specialist who is familiar with G6PD deficiency for personalized guidance, especially if you're using a product that contains chemicals or repellents. Feel free to reach us for further assistance. |
