many people like to wear short clothes and shorts in summer, but the exposed skin has become the key area of mosquito bites, so toilet water has become a sharp tool for many people to prevent mosquitoes and itch. However, experts remind that toilet water is not very safe. If it is not used properly, it will not only damage health, but also endanger life. In particular, the following four misunderstandings must be avoided. Let’s follow and learn about it!
There are four misunderstandings in the use of toilet water
misunderstandings 1: the more you apply, the better the anti mosquito and anti itching effect. In order to avoid mosquito bites, many people like to pour toilet water and apply it to all parts of the body. In this way, some people adapt, but others will have the symptoms of itching and cold sweat. Therefore, apply an appropriate amount of toilet water instead of greedy.
Myth 2: it can be used by patients with dermatitis. Many dermatitis patients feel that their skin is cool and comfortable after applying toilet water, so they often use it. Patients with skin inflammation such as mite dermatitis are not suitable to apply toilet water to alleviate symptoms. Because after mite bite, the neurotoxin and hemolytic toxin secreted by mite are easy to cause inflammatory reaction of human skin, and even edema, erythema, wind mass, blister, etc. In addition, some toilet water also contains & ldquo; Imonen & rdquo; Instead, it may lead to skin allergic reaction and aggravate the symptoms of dermatitis.
myth 3: give adult toilet water to children. Toilet water contains many irritating chemicals. Children’s skin is delicate and not suitable for adults. It is suggested that parents should choose special toilet water for their children. If toilet water is used during bathing, it should be diluted four or five times first, and avoid direct contact with children’s eyes.
myth 4: smoke or cook in the kitchen immediately after applying toilet water. When many people buy toilet water, it is easy to ignore its ingredients and fail to avoid the fire source when using and storing it. Flower dew contains a lot of & ldquo; Ethanol & rdquo;, It is commonly known as alcohol. It has a low ignition point and will burn immediately in case of open fire, and the speed is very fast.
experts remind that many brands of toilet water contain & ldquo; Ethanol & rdquo; They all rank first in the composition list, and the content is mostly more than 70%. There are two main uses for using ethanol in flower dew water: one is to sterilize and disinfect, and the other is to use it as a solvent. There is a component in the flower dew water called butyl acetylaminopropionate ethyl ester, commonly known as & ldquo; Mosquito repellent ester & rdquo;, It is not water-soluble. Ethanol can make these substances work as a solvent.
Pharmacological efficacy of toilet water

When taking a bath, drop 8 ~ 10 drops of toilet water into the bathtub, which also has the effects of cooling, sterilizing, removing prickly heat and relieving itching.

when taking a bus, subway, shopping mall or outing, your hands will inevitably touch the public railings and handrails. At this time, you can drop the flower dew into your palm and rub your hands, which can play a good cleaning role.
● wipe the mat
in summer, people often lie naked on the mat to rest. Over time, sweat stains will be covered with the mat, making people feel very uncomfortable. If you wipe the mat with water dripping with toilet water every day, you can keep the mat fresh and clean. Of course, it is best to wipe along the grain of the mat, so that the toilet water can penetrate into the grain gap of the mat. In this way, the cool and comfortable feeling will be more lasting.
● soak the mask and towel
fill half a basin of clean water in the washbasin, drop 4 ~ 5 drops of toilet water, put the washed towel and mask into it, and soak for about 15 minutes; Or boil and disinfect the mask with water, rinse it, expose it to the sun, and drop 1 ~ 2 drops of toilet water before use, which can play a certain bactericidal role.

One in the morning and one in the evening (if possible, spray several more times) to make the room air clean and fresh.
● prevent mosquito bites
when you go out, you can apply 5-6 drops of flower dew on your body.
● cleaning underwear
because the underwear is worn close to the body and in direct contact with the skin, it cannot be mixed with other clothes for cleaning. It must be washed separately. When washing, first add a few drops of toilet water to the washing water (generally, 4 ~ 5 drops of toilet water can be added to half basin water), and then spread the underwear and soak it for about 15 minutes. Rub it repeatedly with soap, rinse it with clean water, and dry it outdoors (preferably in a sunny place), so that the underwear after washing is fragrant and comfortable.
