After spraying inside the house, the workers told the parents of Shayan and Shahir not to enter the residence for six hours. Then they would have to live washing the entire residence. The family members returned to the house spending six hours and then went to sleep.

Getting awoke from sleep on the following morning, the youngest son Shahir fell sick. Then his elder brother Shayan also fell sick.
