Is aerosolized vinegar a breathing concern?

I have started to transition more and more of my conventional cleaning products to more Permie-friendly alternatives. One of my favorites so far has been vinegar! Recently, I have dedicated a sprayer bottle to vinegar and have primarily started utilizing it in my bathroom spaces such as the shower. I hate to admit it, but I didn't realize how much space was covered in mineral deposits until I started using it.

Anyway, something that I have noticed is that sometimes wafts of vinegar create a sudden sharp sinus-related reaction if that makes sense? Like any other cleaner, I do my best to keep areas well ventilated but I am wondering if I should consider a cloth mask to block the fumes? How bad is a whiff of vinegar anyways?

I would love to hear your thoughts.

A note, I am utilizing household vinegar.

Vinegar isn't good to breath too much.  Cooking vin seems okay, but once we get to cleaning vin (4.5+ acid), i try not to breathe it as it stings.  So i don't often spray that stuff and opt for a rag.

Yeh, not all pain = gain. If you're struggling with that, I would strongly advise finding ways to not breathe it.

In laboratories I worked in throughout the career, glacial (100%) acetic acid was something dispensed in a fume (ventilated) hood and when diluted could be placed on your lab bench.  The diluted stuff was usually around 3 molar (=~ 17%...if my aging brain isn't failing me), so still a bit more concentrated than kitchen vinegar averaging at ~5%.  The observation was that there were differing sensitivities among the lab members.....some not tolerating even the slightest whiff (allergic-like reaction) whereas others seemed fine with pretty strong smell.  It's a good reason why the rules dictated where and in what form the different concentrations could be used.  As household cleaner, I think 'well ventilated' would be prudent and if possible lean towards sponging it onto surfaces.....aerosoling amps up the volatility of the acid.

I have always used a 50/50 solution for vinegar/water for my spray bottle.

This works for me for both cleaning and bug control.

I suspect that adding anything to pure air is less than desirable.
