Edith Eagle experienced a severe allergic reaction after using an unlicensed nasal tanning spray containing Melanotan II. Misled into believing the product was safe, she inhaled the spray twice daily to prepare for her holiday. After two days, she was hospitalized, feeling like she was suffocating. The sale of these sprays in the UK falls into a regulatory gray area, raising alarms about their safety and the presence of potentially toxic ingredients. Experts expressed concern about the lack of research on such products and the risks they pose to consumers.
"I literally could not breathe, and all what went through my mind was, will I even get to the hospital because I could not breathe."
"Nasal tanners are designed to be sprayed into the nostrils and claim to work by administering a substance known as Melanotan II, a chemical that darkens skin pigmentation."
