D-allethrin - related to permethrin and in the pyrethoid class of insecticides. It’s derived from Chrysanthemum!
Dogs and humans have the ability to metabolise these (generally) so in small doses (such as coils and sprays) it’s only mildly toxic. Cats lack the enzyme to metabolise these, however, and it builds up in their systems causing neurotoxicity and can be fatal.
It’s also the class of insecticides used in the automatic fly sprayers (the ones you put on the wall to spray at regular intervals), mosquito repellant clothing and in some dog flea treatments. I had to remove all of these from my home when Miss Meow moved in - which was a bit of a win for the person who took the half pack of flea & worm treatment I had left.
Yup! That’s common in pyrethoids! Sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, and breathing difficulties are common symptoms of beings exposed. Better than being bit by fkn mozzies though!
