I am curious if anyone else has encountered a sensitivity to aerosol sunscreens. Even the smallest whiff sends me into coughing fits, and sometimes I experience a spasm in my throat if I get a big whiff. I have to stop swimming and wait for the coughing to pass. When I start swimming again, I can hear a raspy sound as I breathe, and I seem to be short of breath. I am hoarse for the rest of the day.
I'm wondering if this is dangerous. Also, other than not swimming out of doors, how can I control my exposure this. I am particularly worried about LC Nationals, because it could totally wreck my day. I'm curious to know if others have this problem and how they deal with it.

yes... inhaling sunblock is dangerous.
putting many of them on your skin is also dangerous:
