Only-Pepper Spray

There are many people who unbeknownst to themselves are allergic to pepper  spray. In fact there have been many unconfirmed cases of death due to such allergic reactions.  If such an occurance happens to you or someone near you, I recommend that you start by calling 911.

Be sure to not rub the afected area. As this can be difficult you may need to subdue to person who is affected. Rubbing the skin clean will not stop the pain. The victim is only sreading the inflammation.

Next apply an antidote. If an OC decontamination product is available apply to the affected area. If no antidote is available douse with milk. Or by flushing the affected area with lots and lots of water, one can usually cleanse the affected area in that manner.

When most people think of bears, pepper spray is not the first thing that comes to mind.  However, most park rangers and even the National Parks Service recommend carrying pepper spray in areas populated by bears.  Though the standard pepper spray won’t often work to deter a bear, formulated bear pepper spray can deter an attack and even save your life.  Bear attacks are quite rare, but the Grizzly bear can be aggressive if provoked or if it feels that it’s young are in danger. 

Though there are pepper spray regulations in certain states, often bear pepper spray bypasses the imposed regulations to promote safety.  However, it is not safe to use bear pepper spray on humans; it’s nearly five times the potency of normal pepper spray and can cause serious damage or even be fatal if used on a human.
