Banana Boat Ultra Mist Sport Sunblock Spray, SPF 30

BEWARE this product caused me to break out in HIVES!

I am not one to break out in hives, and have no known allergies to sunblock. I used this product one time, sprayed it only on my arms, and I broke out in hives by that evening. Horrible red bumps that were all over my arms. The itchiness and swelling went down in a week, but it is now over two weeks and I still have spots on my arms where they bumps were. I took Benadryl and applied topical ointment to relieve any itching. I did not scratch the hives, and the spots are still there. Since this experience, I've learned that three other friends applied this spray to their kids and they all broke out in hives. I would NOT RECOMMEND this product to anyone. I give this product a 0 rating.
