With the arrival of summer, the sun gradually becomes hotter, and sun protection has become an indispensable part of people's daily life. In recent years, sunscreen spray has been favored by consumers for its portability and ease of use. However, because of its ease of use, many people tend to overlook the correct way to use sunscreen spray, which leads to a series of safety issues.
Ms. Zhang had no history of respiratory illness before, because the sun was too hot, she sprayed sunscreen spray on her face before going out, and did not hold her breath at that time, resulting in a cough all day, and in the evening, she felt difficult to breathe and rushed to the hospital.
After examination by the doctor, it can be basically determined that after the sunscreen spray is inhaled, the lungs have an allergic reaction, causing pulmonary edema lesions, thus inducing acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Why does sunscreen spray cause pneumonia?
The spray form of sunscreen spray makes it easier to inhale into the lungs during use. Especially in windy or closed indoor environments, the fine particles of the spray are more likely to drift into the air and be inadvertently inhaled. Once the chemicals in these sprays enter the lungs, they can cause irritation and damage to the respiratory tract and lung tissues, which in turn can lead to respiratory diseases such as pneumonia. Therefore, when using sunscreen spray, we must be careful not to spray directly on the face, especially in poorly ventilated environments.
In addition to the risk of pneumonia, the improper use of sunscreen spray can also pose another extreme danger – spitting fire. This is not an exaggeration. In fact, because sunscreen spray contains flammable ingredients, such as denatured ethanol, butane, isobutane, etc., it is very easy to burn once it encounters an open flame or high temperature. In recent years, there have been a number of fire accidents caused by improper use of sunscreen sprays. These accidents often occur when people are unaware of the surrounding fire source, such as an open flame, cigarette butt, or electrical appliance in use when using sunscreen spray.

How to use sunscreen spray correctly?
First of all, before using sunscreen spray, be sure to read the product manual carefully to understand the ingredients, application and precautions of the product. Make sure you have no allergic reaction to the product and use it correctly according to the instructions on the leaflet.
Secondly, when spraying sunscreen spray, keep the distance between the spray head and the skin to avoid spraying unevenly or aspiration too closely. At the same time, try to avoid spraying directly on the face, you can spray the spray on the palm of your hand first, and then gently apply it to the face and neck with your hands. This reduces the risk of the spray being inhaled into the lungs.
In addition, after using sunscreen spray, it is important to wash your hands and face in time to avoid irritation caused by residual chemical ingredients. At the same time, store the sunscreen spray in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures, to avoid product spoilage or fire.
