Irritant: All sprays are irritant and can cause symptoms from mild airway irritation to significant spastic bronchitis and pneumonitis. Awareness is critical and good ventilation following their use indoor is needed in order to prevent respiratory symptoms.

Yes: Yes, inhaling bug spray can be harmful. You should be ok. The more you inhale the worse the affect on you. Inhaling it should be avoided. After accidental inhalation you should open windows or go outside for fresh air. 30minutes of fresh air. bug spray should be done in a well ventilated area or outside. With longer more serious exposure symptoms would be headache, nausea, and vomiting.
