Is An Exposure To Pest Control Chemicals During Pregnancy Harmful?
Hi, My wife is 7weeks pregnant.. We recently moved in to a new apartment with more bed bugs. I got infected in more than 20 places in my body in 3days. She is not showing any reaction in 3days. We called proffessional pest control to kill bugs in my apartment.. Is bed bugs harmful for her? Pest control chemicals harmful for her?? Please advice..

Hello,
So at 7th week of pregnancy, any exposure to toxic chemicals is extremely dangerous as it is the period of organogenesis of the fetus. Better to change the apartment and avoid any chemicals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
