The bearded face closing in on mine suddenly stopped, eyes clamped shut. My ears were roaring thus I barely heard his scream. This was most likely caused by discomfort from the burning feeling on his own face as a fine spray of oleoresin capsicum, or hot pepper, sink into his skin. I did not realize I had released the actuator of my own 2 oz. Pepper Shot pepper spray fogger.

Within my very own hand was not the best Mace defense spray I had set out to acquire, yet at that moment, this was the very best thing to possess. I heaved a sigh of comfort after running away. I understood the guy would not experience permanent harm when the coughing fit and also burning stopped. Self defense spray is non-lethal. He'll live.

Getting pepper-sprayed on the face for even only a one or two second is going to lead to different degrees of pain. I was scared enough of pushing the spray button to take the trouble taking a good glance at my own enemy. He staggered back due to temporary blindness and was gagging.

I made my own escape, similar to my chum, Ed, had informed me, the moment his body reacted to the pepper spray. Had I spotted him 12 feet away, I could have sprayed much earlier. I was simply relieved I had my wits about me.

My 10% self defense spray contains a formulation equal to 2 million Scoville Heat Units. Translated, it is intensely hot pepper spray. The sought after effect to be able to cease hostile behavior may be achieved with a short burst from it.

Potent pepper sprays are best for folks likely to freak out when up against danger. In spite of your panic, a two-second burst coming from afar will do the job.

The effects are fast, however brief. And these disappear after 45 minutes, tops.

I am pleased, not for the best Mace spray but for the best Pepper Shot spray in my opinion. This saved me versus that bearded person.
