Stow Man Catches Fire After Applying Sunscreen

A Stow man says he was nearly killed after applying sunscreen. Standing in front of his barbecue grill, Brett Sigworth says it was only a second before his body was engulfed in flames. “I went into complete panic mode and screamed,” he says. “I’ve never experienced pain like that in my life.” He was at his lakefront home entertaining friends when he applied Banana Boat sport aerosol sunscreen. He says, “I sprayed on the spray-on sunscreen, and then rubbed it on for a few seconds. I walked over to my grill, took one of the holders to move some of the charcoal briquettes around and all of a sudden it went up my arm.”
