Pepper Spray, also know as Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) spray, is a lachrymatory agent which is a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain and even temporary blindness. It can be used in many applications including personal self defense, riot control, and even defense against dogs and bears.
The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical that is derived from plants like chilis. The effects of pepper spray are severe, including temporary blindness, a burning sensation of the skin and upper body spasms which force a person to bend forward and cough uncontrollably, which makes it difficult to breathe or speak. The effects of a pepper spray attack average between 30-45 minutes, with diminished effects that can last for hours. Studies indicate that while a single exposure to OC is harmless, repeated exposure can result in long-lasting changes in corneal sensitivity.

Pepper spray, also known as oleoresin capsicum, derives from capsaicin. Capsaicin is derived from chili plants and, when sprayed in an attacker’s eyes, results in temporary blindness, burning skin, and upper body spasms. These can last from 30 to 45 minutes, giving you time to get away and get help. This substance is designed to be tear-inducing and can be used to cause tears and temporary blindness in both people and animals. Those who are exposed to pepper spray repeatedly may experience changes in corneal sensitivity.
