Pepper
spray is one of the most common and most effective forms of self
defense items you have available. There are many types and formulations
of pepper sprays to choose from.
When looking to buy pepper spray, there are
different brands available to you as well. Probably the most familiar to you is the Mace Brand. Mace has been a pioneer
in developing self defense sprays for many years. Yet, there are other brands which are just as effective such as
Pepper Shot and Wildfire brands. With any of these choices, you will have a very powerful self defense device that you can
whip into action in a moments notice. With a recently improved formula resulting in a much hotter pepper spray, the
Wildfire 18% is the top choice. There are even very large one pound cans for crowd or perimeter defense.
You can even buy pepper spray that is effective against animals
such as the canine (dog) pepper spray and the bear pepper spray. These formulations are specifically designed to be effective against the
chemistries of these animals. If you're out jogging, you'd want to have the dog spray. If out hunting or hiking, having the bear pepper spray
is a wise choice. There's a pepper spray for just about any situation. We even have huge 9oz and 1lb canisters for crowd coverage or defense.
Pepper spray (also known as OC spray-Oleoresin Capsicum), or capsicum spray is an inflammatory agent. (A chemical that irritates the eyes to
cause tears, pain, and temporary blindness) The spray is an organically based inflammatory agent derived from the active ingredient of cayenne peppers.
Pepper spray typically comes in canisters, which are often small enough to be carried concealed in a pocket or purse.
Pepper spray causes immediate dilating of the eye capillaries resulting in temporary blindness, temporary paralysis of the larynx (which causes subjects
to lose their breath), choking and coughing. The defensive spray also will create an intense burning sensation on the surface of the skin and nausea.
The mucous membranes will swell to prevent all but life support breathing. After being sprayed subjects immediately cover their eyes and bend over into
a defensive posture to avoid further contact. It is very uncomfortable and there is some pain associated with it. The result is temporary incapacitation,
mostly due to not being able to see or breathe properly.
OC Spray may not be quite as effective on addicts, intoxicated or hysterical persons. You may have to spray them twice with a good burst of pepper spray
to have the desired effect. The length of the effects depend on the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts around thirty to forty-five
minutes, with after effects lasting for hours. The strongest concentrations are 15% active ingredients and rated at 2 million scoville heat units. The
high scoville heat rating is more important than the actual percentage of pepper spray ingredients.
Pepper spray is often used to control riots or other violent situations as well as in self defense. A violent assault occurs every 15 seconds in the US
and carrying defensive sprays are potent self defense products and safer than guns. Pepper spray is non lethal except under a few rare circumstances,
depending on pre-existing medical conditions. There is rarely long term vision damage.
If one is infected with pepper spray, the best thing to do is to blink constantly. This will induce tears that can wash the pepper spray out of ones
eyes. Washing one’s eyes with soap such as mild non-oily degreasing dishwasher detergent can help you relive some of the pepper’s irritation. The pepper
spray has an effect of about half an hour until the effects ware off.
