Is Pepper Spray Effective?
People often ask me if Pepper Spray really works and if an attacker will keep coming if he's sprayed.
Well, here's an idea I suggest to them. Just imagine surprising someone by spraying water in his face. What does he do? The person sprayed would immediately close his eyes and stop cold in his tracks or even take a step back. This is an involuntary reaction by people -- even if it's just water! Try it sometime with a friend and watch the reactions -- but be ready to make a strong apology for scaring the heck out of them!
Now, imagine if the water were Pepper Spray, which contains the ingredient Oleoresin Capsicum (OC). This is a natural substance and derivative of hot cayenne peppers. It's an inflammatory agent which causes temporary blindness and constricted breathing but does not interfere with necessary breathing to sustain life. It can also cause nausea. The effects last up to 45 minutes.
Now imagine spraying an attacker with Pepper Spray! He would instantly react, BUT he would also be temporarily blinded and experience uncontrollable coughing and choking and would be that way for up to 45 minutes. Don't forget, he's still a bad guy and still can swing his arms even if he can't see. Don't give him the chance -- run away screaming to get attention and call 911 on your cell phone. Have them put this creep behind bars where he deserves to be.
Some people will tell you that just holding your arm out in front of you with the Pepper Spray and shouting "Stop. I have Pepper Spray" will stop an attacker. Well, maybe! If it does, great! Just scram out of there as fast as you can.
However, I wouldn't give the creep any chance to prepare. Most Pepper Spray has a spray distance of over 6 feet so you can "fire when you see the whites of his eyes". Let him have it with more than 1 squirt just to be sure your aim was proper. And then, as I've said before, just run and call 911. Don't try to be a hero and capture him alone. You disabled him, now get out of there!
Every second matters when you're in trouble. Pepper Spray gives you a chance to use this precious time to get away.
Get peace of mind -- Pepper Spray could save your life!
