It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects and can be dangerous to humans who inhale or ingest it.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone produced by the parathyroid glands in the neck that plays a critical role in regulating calcium levels in the blood. When levels of calcium in the blood become too low, the parathyroid glands release PTH, which stimulates the release of calcium from bones into the bloodstream. Conversely, when calcium levels are too high, PTH prevents further calcium absorption and promotes excretion of excess calcium through the kidneys.
