My face has been burning since 4am 19/01/2018 till this moment as i type this.
Bought the LLINs two days ago from a renowned pharmaceutical store in Port Harcourt, hung outside for two days and two nights before hanging over my bed last night.

Woke up this morning with this very burning sensation on my face and neck. I rushed to the mirror to check if there was literally 'fire' on my skin. I had to soak a towel in chill water to cover my face to no avail. I took my bath like 4 times within 1 hour before the normal bath to work.

Now at work and still burning sensation...!!!
Had to google a possible solution online then I saw this thread...!!!

Eyaa. I am so sorry about that. I really don't know what causes it, but I don't think it has any adverse effects. I guess you and your child must be free by now. Just wash the net very well and sun dry it to reduce the chemicals.

Thank you @fates. I went through same but now the net is inside washing machine. I no fit kill myself.

You have to wash the net once or twice.
use powder on your face.

Re: Help! My New Insecticide Treated Net Is Burning My Face by kamnene(f): 8:08am On May 03, 2018
did you spread the net under direct sunlight?
if yes, it's wrong.spread it under a not too cold atmosphere.
Re: Help! My New Insecticide Treated Net Is Burning My Face by Ukprosper: 11:39pm On Jan 31, 2019
Good saying that you should ensure you dry your net properly before use but if you want to stop the reactions, read solution in this link https://knowseeker..com/2019/01/how-to-stop-skin-reaction-to-mosquito.html

It really works!

Hey, smoothys. I had the same issue when I installed my net. But the post at https://knowseeker.com/2019/01/how-to-stop-skin-reaction-to-mosquito.html helped relieve the irritations.
Drop your comments if it helps you so that someone else can try it.

atmosphere.

This is largely ineffective. Even after about two days of spreading under the sunlight, it can still be seen. Permethrin is the name of the substance. It is a pyrethroid insecticide.

I have used insecticide treated nets for many years now without issues. I relocated to lagos recently and the first thing I noticed was the mosquitoes, they are not like any I've seen before. They are as huge as those small termites.

Long story short. I bought this so called insecticide treated net from a road side vendor. He told me to air it overnight before I use it (which is the usual thing). I opened the net and spread it out in a room in d house for about eight days before I hung it up 2 days ago.

On the first night, I noticed a slight burning sensation on my lips and nose, but I attributed it to the fact that the net was new. This night also, I noticed the same burning sensation, but it kept increasing. Right now, I feel like my whole face is on fire.

I've taken down the net and have thrown it into the washing machine. I've also washed my face but the burning has refused to subside.

Please, I have a 6 month old baby sleeping with me. Would this burning have any adverse effects? What do I use to bring down the pain? Can I still use d net after I have washed it considering the baby?

Oh, the baby is sleeping fine so I'm not sure he feels what I am feeling (I sincerely hope so).

I really need ur help.
spread it inside very hot afternoon sun for like 3-4days straight before you can spread it again for use

Experiencing itchy skin to mosquito net does not mean it is substandard or you are allergic to it.
Mosquito insecticide is often impregnated with pyrethroid, the active ingredient against mosquitoes. This chemical has been found to cause burning skin irritation to most people using mosquito net.
