Bee Aerosol Aware
Raising awareness of the dangers of aerosol
How Bee Angels Started
We started this mission after Giorgia Green, a beloved daughter, sister, auntie, student and friend, sadly passed away in May 2022 after accidentally breathing in too much aerosol she had sprayed in her room. Giorgia had autism and sprayed perfumes and aerosols to bring her comfort, as a sort of stimming/self-soothing act to make her feel safe and relaxed. Giorgia’s family and friends had no idea that just regular over-spraying of deodorant could be deadly 💛
We hear a lot in the news about aerosol abuse or ‘huffing’ causing death, but less about the fact that gases in aerosol deodorant can build up in your system over time and become toxic, even from just spraying them in a room or on a regular basis.
Clare and Paul Green, Giorgia’s parents, have set up Bee Angels as a way to remember Giorgia, our little bee, and to raise awareness of the dangers of aerosol overspraying! Bee Angels comes from the fact that Giorgia loved bees, she found joy and wonders from even the tiniest things in life! ⛅️ 🐝
Giorgia is one of many children and teens who have died from over spraying, many of whom had an autism diagnosis and sprayed as a way to feel comfort and safety, we want to get the message out to as many young people and parents as possible, that aerosol can be deadly! #beeaerosolaware
