Global Pepper Sprays Market Overview:
Pepper spray is a tear product (a chemical weapon that irritates the eyes and causes a burning sensation, pain, and temporary blindness) used in police work, counterinsurgency, crowd control, and self-defense, including repelling dogs and bears. Pepper spray is an aerosol spray that contains an inflammatory compound called capsaicin. It causes burning, pain, and tears when it comes in contact with a person's eyes. Its inflammatory effects cause eyes to close and temporarily impair vision. This temporary blindness allows officers to restrain people more easily and allows those at risk to use pepper spray for self-defense in order to escape. It also causes temporary discomfort and burns to the lungs, causing shortness of breath. If a person comes in contact with pepper spray, their eyes close immediately. You will experience a "bubbly" or "boiling" sensation followed by temporary blindness and eye pain. The effect lasts for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how strong the spray solution is.
