People at my work over use Lysol, and I think I have an allergy to it, or one of the chemicals in it. Someone sprayed some in my direction tonight and within minutes my sinuses were stuffy and I couldn't stop coughing. I've said something before about me being allergic, but no one seems to listen to me, so what am I supposed to do?

There's an unscented Lysol. That might help. The scented kind bothers me, too.

If you find that there is an allergy & the people around you don't respect your allergy after you stating it....then you might need to go to your Human Resourses department at work & ask them what you need to do in order to protect yourself.

You could put up a sign at your desk stating that "allergy to Lysol...don't spray around here."

Sounds more like you are very sensitive to the chemicals but not allergic. That doesn't mean the coworkers should spray it towards you. If they are not respecting your sensitivity do go to HR.
