Today I was reading and there were many mosquitoes around my room. So I lighted a mosquito repellent coil (Good night coil). After sometime I eat my food with my hands. I forgot to wash my hands after handling the coil. I have heard that Mosquito coil is poisonous, some of the poison entered my stomach through the hands. Will anything happen to me? Will the toxins in the coil harm my brain?
