Breathing difficulty and coughing are some signs of ant spray poisoning. Vomiting, seizures, and loss of consciousness are other signs of ant spray poisoning.

Most insecticides are pyrethrins or similar, and are nerve agents. In fact you would need to inhale or ingest a lot of it to poison you, so probably extremely carelessly in a small room; though you should still be careful. If the material is packed in an aerosol can the propellants may be as bad or worse. I am assuming here occasional, small-scale domestic use, as professional users will know the hazards, risks and precautions.

Actually you ought really question the point. Where are the ants? If they are in your house the chances are that they have found a delicious source of food such as spilt sugar or fruit-juice. Clean that up and they will eventually take the hint. If they are the small common-or-garden ant are out in the garden, there is really not much to be gained by killing them because they are so common that there will be any number of colonies in the vicinity. So leave them alone to be food for birds etc, unless the nest is right on the backdoor-step! Of course if they are soldier ants or termites, that's a different matter.
