Frequently Asked Questions

What are the immediate physical effects of being pepper sprayed?

Being pepper sprayed causes your throat to close, eyes to shut involuntarily, and nostrils to constrict, making it extremely difficult to see or breathe.

How can I minimize pepper spray burning during my first shower?

During your first shower after exposure, bend over so the pepper spray residue runs off your face and away from your body, rather than down your skin.

What is the 'reactivation' effect of pepper spray?

The reactivation effect occurs when sweat or water causes residual pepper spray on the skin to become active again, leading to renewed burning sensations.

Why is it important to complete tasks after being pepper sprayed in training?

Completing tasks, like an obstacle course, while under the effects of pepper spray is part of training to simulate real-world scenarios and build resilience.
