Well, it depends on if you are swallowing it or inhaling it, and if it's a large or small amount.
The majority of bug repellents contain DEET (You may need to look that up) as their active ingredient. It is one of the few insect repellents that work. DEET helps to prevent mosquito-born diseases like malaria.
Other less effective forms of bug sprays contain pyrethrins. Pyrethrins are a pesticide created from the chrysanthemum flower. It is generally considered nontoxic, but it can cause breathing problems if large doses are inhaled.
If you swallow or inhale pyrethrins, you may have breathing difficulties, vomit, have seizures or tremors, or an upset stomach. These things could lead to illness.
When it comes to DEET, spraying it on you skin can give you hives and rashes. Swallowing, inhaling or spraying it in your eyes/ears it can give you severe stomach irritation, nausea, and cause you to vomit. Also, it may cause low blood pressure and low heart rate. All of these things can be very serious.
DEET is very dangerous for small children. Spraying them with a large amount can cause epilepsy.
If someone were to inhale either one, yes, there is a chance you COULD get sick. But only if it is a lot. Just smelling it in the air won't cause you any harm.
