What Caused Swelling In My Face After I Was Sprayed In The Face?

I was sprayed in my face by an employee at the bowling alley last night with some cleaning chemicals, my face swole up and i was rushed to the hospital. Could it have been ammonia in the chemicals? Does that mean that i am allergic to that chemical?

Hi I did review your condition
Your reaction of face could be due to direct toxic effect of the chemical or allergic contact dermatitis.

I would recommend you to first get treated for your current condition and then later on have a look at the cleaning chemical contents manual.
It will then help to know what caused it. Main concern is allergy but in most probable scenario its a alkaline agent that must have caused it and its due to toxic effect.

I hope this helps.
wish you all the best.
