Iso spray - protection?

I spray 70% isopropyl a lot when working. I have decent ventillation in my room, but I still find myself inhaling the stuff rather often. I'd like to minimize the exposure, so I'm wondering what's the best practical protection. What mask, what filter? Something that's effective, but still reasonably comfortable.

any nuisance dust mask if you are a hypochondriac.
I do not think that alcohol and water makes a dangerous aerosol.
Possibly stop spraying/spritzing and start using a wash bottle.

@sandman420, @bodhisatta - that's actually very helpful. Got me thinking whether covering every single thing in a cloud of awful mist is actually worth it. Probably not. It just gives me this weird comfort to see stuff completely covered in the liquid, suggesting that it's oh so clean now. Not very rational.
What do you guys do? Do you soak a paper towel or something similar and use it to wipe stuff down? Do you keep several such towels around while working? Do you change them often or do you use the same one for multiple things?

Paper towel squirted with a wash bottle of alcohol for cleaning hard goods going into the hood that are not sterile. Like slants coming out of the fridge or colonized plates that are still in parafilm.
And squirt on your gloves very often while working in the flowhood. Not every plate in a stack or anything but often.
That's literally all I use alcohol for personally.
