Mosquitoes and CPAP

Posted by Buzz Lightyear on February 25, 2008 at 05:18:21:

After being attacked by pesky mosquitoes I decided to purchase a plug in mosquito killer. The type with a diffuser and bottle of liquid. Active ingredient Prallethrin 0.90% w/w
That evening I switched it on and went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up feeling terrible. Nauseous, weak and with a brain fog I have never experienced before.

Could it be that with CPAP drawing in air containing Prallethrin and continuously blowing it through my body, I received a level of chemical higher than would have been tested on a person breathing without CPAP.
I have since not used the mosquito killer but would like to hear comments .
