hAI, YOU are allergic to the particular spray. Try to use some other chemical or compound. Otherwise try to use the same with gloved hands and masked face. You will be alright. Dr SM

Welcome here on Health Care Magic Dot Com.
I am very much concern of your problem.
I think I will certainly able to help you out of this condition.
In my view you have an allergic reaction to the disinfectant.
So I will suggest you to use ant allergic ointment locally and antihistamines orally and injectable as per need.
Good luck.
Get well soon.
