Lemongrass has a noxious nature (desi scant), and it operates as a contact poison that can cause

death due to a shortage of fluid in the body. The acetylcholinesterase enzyme is inhibited by

lemongrass by carrying out serine phosphorylated serine at the enzyme's core. Symptoms of

poisoning are caused by acetylcholine buildup, which causes specific poisoning characterized by

central nervous system diseases, convulsions, respiratory paralysis, and death. These chemical

components in lemongrass extract, according to how they function, are similar to contact poisons

that can cause death due to a constant loss of fluids, causing the mosquito's body to become

dehydrated. This pesticide first enters the insect's body through the surface of the body, particularly

the thin section of the skin, such as parts of the area associated with segments, indentations created

by the body's plates, and the base of the hair. Toxins connected to insects will enter the body right

away, and here is where the poisoning occurs. Lemongrass extract has also been shown to be anti-

oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antinociceptive properties, which back up its initial

pharmacological claims. However, while using mosquito repellent plants like lemongrass to

control mosquitos, it should be made a point not to harm humans or the environment.
