How to get pepper spray out of your eyes?

Question

well my friendwants me to let him spray me with pepper spray i never had it done how do u get the burning feeling away

Answer 1

Wash it out with water for 30 minutes.

Answer 2

Water just spreads the pain around and makes it worse.

Air and facing into the wind helps. For skin any sort of dairy product is the way to go. Milk, half and half, sour cream and such. Putting those in your eyes is not the way to go.

Pepper spray can easily cause major eye and lung damage. If that happens guess who is going to get charged or sued...... you.

Answer 3

Having had this done to me for my job, I will tell you this, DO NOT DO IT! It will burn like a MOTHER! The only way to get it out, is to flush with running water, and to keep your eyes wet.  Those of us who have dry eye, REALLY get screwed.

Also, if you have even a minute amount left in, ANY sweating around your eyes, can reactivate the sensations again. I was hit with the spray, and 27 hours later, while doing physical training, it reactivated on my eye. Oh, that was SOOOO much fun. NOT!

Answer 4

You can flush it with COLD water but only time will really do it.  When you flush it with water make sure you get the water all over your head and skin, otherwise, later when you go to take a shower you'll just wash any that was in your hair back into your face.

Answer 5

Just say no

Answer 6

Don't let him. This is dangerous. Without the proper precautions, you could go blind. Even police officers mess up, and men have to be hospitalized. This is not a good idea. If it has already happened, use lots of running water to flush out the oils.

Answer 7

nothing is really going to get it out.

you just need to let it take its course

but washing your eyes with Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo does help a bit

Answer 8

Lots of cool/cold water. Just stand in the shower with your clothes on. I've heard that milk poured on the face/eyes will work even better. I have no experience with the milk solution. The water should sorta help in 30 minutes.

Answer 9

WORST idea I've ever heard! you'll have a HARD time breathing and its more awful than you might think. Please, please dont do it...

Answer 10

ive been through the police academy

and they make us experience this

dont play around with it to begin with

just open your eyes in a bucket of water for about 20 minutes.

but remember "water reactivates the burn"

so if your tough, then dump your head and open your eyes in cold water
