If you frequently experience uncomfortable symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or a runny nose after using spray products, you might have a spray allergy. Here's a guide that might help you recognize a potential spray allergy.

Identify the Symptoms

• Respiratory Symptoms: Symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and a runny or congested nose are common indications of a spray allergy.
• Eye Irritation: If you experience itchy, red, or watery eyes each time you're exposed to sprays, it might suggest an allergy.
• Skin Reactions: Reactions such as rashes, hives, or itching on any part of the body may also occur.

Observe the Timing of Symptoms

• Immediate Onset: Allergy symptoms often show up immediately or within an hour of exposure. If you notice symptoms soon after using a spray, it may indicate an allergy.
• Persistence of Symptoms: If symptoms persist for hours or days after the exposure, it's another indication that you may be allergic.

Notice the Context of Exposure

• Repetition of Symptoms: Allergic reactions usually happen each time you're exposed to the allergen. If you have symptoms each time you use sprays, this is a potential sign of allergy.
• Type of Spray: Try to identify if your symptoms are linked to the use of a specific type of spray (e.g., perfume, disinfectant, paint) or sprays in general.

Finally, if you suspect you have a spray allergy, consult an allergist or other healthcare professional for an evaluation and possible allergy testing.
