We’ve all heard of what pepper spray is and what it is for, but how do we know how they work? Basically, pepper spray is a self-alarm gadget containing a chemical compound that aggravates the eyes. It can cause eyes to tear or be blinded temporarily. That is why; it is most commonly used as self-defense gadget. When the eyes of the attacker get irritated by the compound, it gives the user the chance to run and escape the attempt.

In case you accidentally spray it to someone by accident, it is highly suggested that you wash it with water and soap or detergents. Milk and cooling are also said to be effective in providing some relief.
