Safety Spray That Works in the Face of an Attacker
There were 401,326 robberies in 2004. Highest percentage of these (38%) were in the South. 42% of the robberies occurred on the streets, 14% occurred in homes.
One of the most common and reliable forms of personal safety equipment is pepper spray. This is a spray that's used to keep an attacker at bay and give you time to get away and get help.
Pepper spray is actually made of a chemical found in peppers. However, in pepper spray it's very concentrated allowing it to have a powerful effect. When someone is sprayed in the face with pepper spray, it causes them to have pain and tearing in the eyes. It causes a type of temporary blindness that keeps an attacker from being able to continue his or her assault.
Pepper spray is perfect for carrying with you at all times. You can put it on a key chain, carry it in a purse, or hide it in a pocket. You can keep it ready when you're walking from a building to your car and have it work at a moment's notice.
The effect of pepper spray causes coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and temporary blindness that can last for 30-45 minutes. That means you'll have the time you need to get far away from a criminal.
However, the effects are not permanent and it's non-lethal, so you don't need to worry about long-term consequences of using it.

You'll simply aim the spray at your attacker and press down on the release. The pepper spray will usually release for a specific amount of time and release a specific amount of the chemical.
You'll want to make sure you're close enough to your attacker so that the spray will actually reach their face. Some sprays will reach at least 8 feet from you. However, the closer you are the better. Just make sure that you hold the canister at least six inches in front of your body so that you won't be too close to it.
Try not to spray the pepper spray all over the air. You'll want to really aim it at the attacker's face. Spray from side to side so that you spray both eyes and reach the nose.
Once you've sprayed the first time, wait a few seconds. In some cases you'll need to spray a second time in order to stop your assailant completely. Once you're sure that your attacker is incapacitated by the pepper spray, you need to make a break for it. Run away as fast as you can and summon help.

I had no idea how effective pepper spray can be! Thank you for this information. That its effects, although potent, are temporary makes it all okay.
