SPECIFICATIONS: a great self defence tool for women and a must-have in present times. A pepper spray is a nonlethal aerosol spray that causes temporary blindness and potential burning/irritation of skin and mucous membranes. It is used to disable an attacker, giving you time to run away and save yourself. In Boxing, 'knockout' means to defeat an opponent. The active ingredient mentioned on a pepper spray can is Oleoresin Capsicum (OC). Oleoresin Capsicum is extracted from crushed capsicum and its main constituents are capsaicin and capsanthin. Therefore, the actual thing that causes the stingy burning sensation is 'Capsaicin‘… Ever chopped green chillies? Remember the burning that remains if you happen to touch your face later, even after washing hands with soap. Well, that is nothing as compared to the burning sensation caused by a pepper spray. Capsaicin is so hot that a single drop diluted in 100,000 drops of water will produce a blistering of the tongue.
