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.
