1. The harm of fumigating wormwood in the room

Fumigating the room with mugwort will indeed cause certain harm, but as the saying goes, "Talking about toxic side effects without talking about the dosage is really shameless", the harm caused by fumigating the room with mugwort is actually very small. The harm often occurs because after wormwood is ignited, in addition to producing a small amount of carbon monoxide, it also produces a small amount of smoke particles and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. If these substances are inhaled for a long time, the risk of carcinogens will increase over time. Therefore, when using wormwood to fumigate the room, it is best not to leave any air in the room, or wear a mask with a good filtering effect.
