Have you ever been sprayed with pepper spray? There is pain associated with being sprayed and it is very uncomfortable. If you can imagine a really bad case of a sunburn on your face, a very hot burning sensation in the back of your mouth and sore eyes, you will have some idea of the effects pepper spray will have on your attacker.
When pepper spray is sprayed into someone's eyes and face, it irritates the skin, eyes and mucous membranes of the throat. Coughing and choking may be experienced. The end result is temporary incapacitation, mostly due to not being able to see. During this time the assailant is too preoccupied with the blinding and painful experience to even attempt to do anything violent to you. If properly contaminated with pepper spray, an attacker will not be able to open their eyes for 10 minutes to up to an hour. There may also be a small increase in the assailant’s blood pressure, heart rate and ventilation. This will allow you plenty of time to escape.
Because OC, which is derived from chili peppers, is an inflammatory agent and not an irritant, it is still effective on those who may not feel any pain while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Pepper spray has also been proven to be the best deterrent available against attacking dogs and the control of wild animals.
Pepper spray is used by many law enforcement agencies because it is more effective than tear gas and Mace™ and because it does not cause direct permanent harm.
However there are still many areas and countries where its use by the general public is restricted. It is also a crime to carry pepper spray on a commercial aircraft. You should check for restrictions in your locality.
If you have to use your pepper spray in self-defense, make sure that you have some distance between you and your attacker. You don't want the spray to affect you. Aim the spray at the eyes and face area, then release a 1 to 2 second burst of spray. After you have done this, move away, but watch the attacker carefully at the same time. By watching the reactions of your attacker you will be able to tell if another burst of spray is required. Remember to always spray and move, spray and move. Once the attacker has been incapacitated, go for help and call the police.
