From your description, I think you've been working with "dry ice" foggers,
which are not as irritating as the chemical ones.
I haven't had to *sing* in a production with a chemical fogger. HOWEVER, I
got a couple of bad hits from chemical foggers in productions that I
*reviewed* when I was a theater critic. One was a play about a Holocaust
survivor, staged in a tiny garage-turned-theater, in which the oily, nasty
fog pretty much covered the audience. Certainly added a new dimension to
the drama.
And no, I don't have asthma. This was worse than pollen or cigarettes.
