Please stop spraying your sunscreen near us

[Anonymous]

If you want to stay ignorant of recommendations that you stop spreading your kid with spray sunscreen (example: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5564533), that's your call. But PLEASE do it far enough away that MY kids (whose parents actually follow some basic safety news) don't have to breathe it in.

It's gonna be a long pool season for you.

I don't trust spray sunscreens, but with a family history of melanoma, it's a risk I don't want to take and do use sunscreen.

Why are you so bothered if your kids get a little spray sunscreen on them? Presumably you don't want your kids to get burned and use creams. If you're using a public pool, you're going to get WAY worse stuff on your kids, even if you're vehemently against sunscreen altogether.

One option for you -- when you see someone pulling out spray sunscreen, move out of range. It's not Raid Wasp and Hornet after all. It only goes out a few inches.

I am assuming this only happens outdoors at places where large groups of kids gather (pools, summer camps). But let me ask you -- is this happening elsewhere? At the grocery store? Just walking down the street? Is it possible others are targeting with the evil intent of harassing you?

Op here. I have no problem with sunscreen, and we all use it. But the safety of SPRAY sunscreen has been specifically questioned and FDA recommends against using it on children. I don't see why my kids have to be put at risk by your ignorance.

The FDA has recommended that parents remove their children from the vincinity of a parent applying spray to their child due to the risk of overspray?
You have to be kidding me if that is what you believe the FDA guidelines say
That's fine if you are over-anxious and choose to move yourself and your family, but don't say it's because the FDA recommends it. That's just silly

Keep your kids home or install a pool in your backyard. It's going to be a long hot summer for all everyone and a really looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot summer for you.

Then get out of the way. We do not spray near anyone but my kid refuses to use the lotion or stick so I have no choice but either use it or let him burn.
