Could Headaches, Severe Ear Pain And Throat Irritation Be Due To Usage Of Lysol In Surrounding?
The office I work in uses industrial strength Lysol after every patient. There are 3 people using this all day in a small area with no ventilation. I have an immediate headache if I smell it and for the last 3 months have had severe ear and throat irritations. Could the use of Lysol be causing this?

Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
These sprays are respiratory irritants and the burning sensation in the throat and upper chest is a normal response of the body/airways.
They also cause headaches, nauseating feeling and ear irritations. So, inhalation of lysol is most probable cause for your problems.
Try to avoid that.
Hope this guide you. Thank you.
