Narrative:

I entered aircraft and proceeded with preflight and safety check. Checked equipment in lav; shut trash receptacle door and halon fire extinguisher released its contents onto myself and dress. I immediately reported incident to captain; he contacted ops and maintenance. I called inflight base manager and he asked if I was ok to continue with schedule. I said I felt ok and needed to clean up and change uniforms. After breathing in the fumes I started to feel unwell; sweating and could taste the fumes when I swallowed; I decided I wasn't fit to fly. The inflight base manager called scheduling. I was removed off of trip.
