i agree with poison control. i can't imagine that your headache or bloody nose has anything to do with the fact that you had a clip-on mosquito repellent. the most common cause of headache is the a muscle-tension type but you would need to see your medical provider -- someone who knows you and your medical history -- so you can be properly examined and diagnosed. oh that is a relief! thank you! but it's strange because no pain meds are helping at all with the pain. it is very possible it was caused by over exposure to this product. the off clip on does not use deet but a different kind of repellent called metofluthrin so the symptoms will not be the same as over exposure to deet. the first day i used one for a 3 hour hunt i got a pretty severe headache that started about 30 minutes after the hunt and lasted about 4 hours. i was just recovering from a virus to i initially thought nothing of it. later the same day i found one of the top customer reviews for this product on amazon. com mentions it caused severe headaches almost everytime he used it. the warning labels seem to go overboard in cautioning you to wash your hands and clothes after handling to the point it made me a bit nervous about using the product. i would venture to say from my own experience and the amazon reviewers experiences using the product as directed and still getting headaches if you fell asleep in an enclosed space with this thing blowing that its almost certain that most of your symptoms can be attributed to it. this is apparently some extremely potent poison.
i left an off clip on repellent on overnight with the windows open woke up with a right side headache & bloody nose. that was two days ago and the only thing still happening is the headache. i was feeling that i was getting sick before that because of right ear pain. poison control said it should not be a big problem because off has a low concentration of deet but my headache wont go away. should i wait or go to a doc asap feels like a muscular pain because it is tender to pressure and hurts more when i turn my head the pain travels down to my posterior neck muscles (right side).
