Self-defense Pepper Spray
The self-defense pepper spray is an aerosol spray that contains capsaicin, an inflammatory chemical. When it comes into contact with a person’s eyes, it produces burning, agony, and tears. Commercial pepper sprays are available for personal defense against assailants.
Physical consequences
Pepper spray produces quick eye closure, extreme eye pain, and temporary blindness when it comes into contact with a person’s eyes. A bubbling or boiling sensation, as well as extreme discomfort, has been reported by some persons. The following are some of the other consequences that pepper spray can have:
- A dry cough or wheezing
- shortness of breath or inability to breathe correctly
- gagging
- a runny nose
- gasping for air
- fear
- an inability to talk
- consciousness loss
- contact with the skin causes rashes, blisters, or burns
How To Use Pepper Spray
- Hold properly: Hold it in your fist and use your thumb instead of your index finger to deploy it.
- Know the amount of shots left: you don’t want your pepper spray running out when you need it the most.
- Keep a safe distance.
- Keep the pepper spray where it can be accessed easily. If you can’t get to your pepper spray in time, it’s useless.
- Know how to arm and disarm your device: Many pepper sprays have twist-lock technology, which allows you to put the canister in safety mode so it doesn’t unintentionally discharge. Disarm the gadget only when you’re sure you’re in a secure location.
- Aim for the eyes: To get the most out of pepper spray, aim it at the attacker’s eyes, which will momentarily close their eyes and give you time to flee.
- Practice beforehand: The more you practice holding, spraying, and aiming your defensive spray, the more effective it will become.
