Sheese, did you ever hear of reading the directions. Being safe doesn't
mean that extreme abuse can't cause problems. You don't breath it, you
apply it to your skin.



No kidding.
I did not breathe it.
Repeat - I did not breathe it. In fact I clearly recall being extra careful
about inhaling any.


All I did was very sparsely mist my clothing as I am very cautious about
using such products.


The tone of your (very offensive) post implied that I walked underneath a
waterfall of the stuff with my mouth wide open.


To be fair, you did say you sprayed it up in the air and walked under
the mist then just couldn't breathe; which implies that you inhaled the
mist while walking through it.

If that is not what happened, the fault lies in your first account of
what you did, not in other people for assuming your description was
accurate.
