The worker is spraying insect repellent directly into his face, causing clear eye and skin irritation. This unsafe handling of aerosol chemicals can lead to eye damage, respiratory problems, or allergic reactions. The label may also contain warnings that were ignored, and it’s clear this use is not in line with safe application practices. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using insect repellents. Spray away from the face and in a well-ventilated area. Apply to hands first, then carefully spread on the face—avoiding the eyes and mouth. Use protective eyewear if needed, and wash hands immediately after application. If contact occurs, rinse eyes with clean water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
