YES!!!

I let them know ahead of time that I am very, very allergic.

And when they insist it is mild, she'll just spray it next to me instead of on me, or we should just try and see... it is time for plan B.

I pull out my cell phone and say "I have made you aware of the fact that I am highly allergic. If you choose to ignore that and spray it anywhere near me than I will be calling the police and pressing charges for assault."

Only once, when a door-to-door salesman sprayed it on a cloth and shoved it in my face, have I actually called the police. He went to jail, and I still have scars in a couple places where my psoriasis and skin allergies reacted so violently it actually made the skin split apart everywhere it had touched me for weeks after.
