Bloomin eck, the poor lad, never knew that could happen, don't think i have ever read the warnings on a can of deodorant and nearly always put it on in the bathroom with no ventilation, especially at this time of year.

I avoid all aerosols as generally one of the triggers for asthma.

This can happen when using aerosols, there is a warning on cans but how many people read the warning that it is not to be used in confined spaces, it is not going to happen to them.

I personally cannot enter a room for quite some time after any aerosol has been sprayed, think I might have two aerosols in my home and have not used those for a long time.

This may make folk wake up about the use of aerosols.

Have to say I was shocked by this. I had no idea that they could have such catastrophic results. The only one I ever used that made me cough/want to throw up was Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner: totally vile stuff. Once used, never forgotten.
What a shame for that poor family....

I agree with the mr muscle that stuff was truly awful to work with.
