The Effects of Pepper Spray As a Personal Protection and Self Defense Weapon

The effects of pepper spray are numerous and are important to consider when using this tool as personal protection or self-defense weapon.
The most important facts about pepper spray are the following: out of all the deterrents on the market, it's the most effective self-defense weapon, its effects last longer than those of a Taser and it causes coughing, choking and burning.
For the use of personal protection and self-defense, pepper spray has many benefits including its effectiveness and its price.
You are at ease when it comes to using the deterrent.
The steps of using the spray are very easy, step 1: aim and step 2: spray.
It's effectiveness has saved many lives and could save yours if you are in a situation where you need to defend yourself.
You will have peace of mind using this deterrent, knowing that it is the most effective self-defense and personal protection weapon, even more so than a stun gun or Taser.
While stun guns disable the nervous and muscular system, this effect only lasts for mere seconds.
Whereas the effects of pepper spray, including, pain, temporary blindness and even choking, will last for around 30 minutes.
The longer lasting effect of this self-defense device will give you the most time to get out of a situation where you are being attacked.
The main ingredient of pepper spray is cayenne pepper because of its heat properties making the spray very hot and causing intolerable pain when it comes in contact with skin or is breathed into the mouth, hence, the reason why the pepper spray is aimed at the attacker's face.
Once the pepper spray comes in contact with their mouth and is breathed into their nose, it burns so badly that it knocks them to the floor and they feel like are going to die.
Therefore they are disabled from being able to continue attacking or chase you.
A further effect of pepper spray is the alteration of the attacker's sight.
Due to the burning it cause, the eyelids and skin around both eyes becomes puffy and swollen which makes it very difficult for the attacker to see.
In addition, the eye naturally shuts down as a way to protect itself from the spray.
However, the blindness caused by spray is only temporary but gives you an opportunity to get away from the attacker without them knowing which direction you took.
