Michigan approved pepper sprayIn certain states, pepper spray has been banned or is otherwise not approved in its traditional form.  There are a few ways to get around a ban, and also ensure that you are protected from potential attackers.  For states like Michigan in which only a special kind of pepper spray is allowed, you can purchase Michigan approved pepper spray, which is a special blend of Mace or Tear Gas that contains a dye to make it easy for law enforcement to identify an attacker.  In other states where pepper spray is banned altogether, it is possible to purchase pepper spray designed to be used for protection from animals such as bears. 

When choosing to buy pepper spray, ensure that you are aware of your state’s practices and regulations to avoid breaking the law and potential fines or more serious consequences.

buy-pepper-sprayThe old method of dating was to meet people through friends of acquaintances, but with internet dating as the new standard, it’s often that you go on a date with someone whom you only know through the internet.  Because communication and interaction through the internet can be at times deceitful, it’s important to be prepared.  You should ensure that a friend or family member knows where you are going, and when you will return.  It is also wise to buy pepper spray or pepper gel if you don’t happen to own some already. 

Should you encounter a situation which makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t debate about social niceties, leave right away without informing your date if necessary.  There are other fish in the sea, and keeping yourself safe is the most important.

The effects of pepper spray

personal pepper sprayPepper spray is an excellent deterrent to an attacker, as it has immediate and severe reactions. It’s an inflammatory, and will cause immediate closing of the eyes, difficulty breathing, a runny nose, and coughing. According to the European Parliament Scientific and Technological Options Assessment, the chemical will cause temporary blindness which can last from 15 to 30 minutes, and create a burning sensation on the skin which can last 45 minutes to one hour. It also leads to upper body spasms, which will force the attacker to bend forward and cough uncontrollably, making it difficult to talk or breathe for three to 15 minutes.

For anyone who is walking alone at night, or just doesn’t feel comfortable in their surroundings, pepper spray is an excellent choice for self-defense. State laws vary on who can purchase the spray and where, so look into them.

pepper spray

While walking alone, if you sense a problem heading toward you, change your route, and prepare to run and defend yourself.  Do not wear conspicuous jewelry, and act confident, maintaining eye contact, which makes an aggressor think twice before approaching you.  Carry pepper spray, and know how to use it. If you choose to take public transport, wait in a well-lit area for the bus to arrive and choose an aisle seat once you board so that you can make a quick exit, preferably close to the driver.

If you are traveling alone by car, approach your vehicle with keys in hand and ready to use.  Check your car before entering to ensure it is empty, and lock all doors and windows every time you leave the car.  Attackers wait for opportunities when someone runs into the store quickly and fails to do so.

10% Pepper spray

Pepper spray is a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness that is used in crowd control and personal self-defense. The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilis. Long-term effects of pepper spray have not been effectively researched.

A synthetic analogue is used in another version of pepper spray known as PAVA spray which is used in England. Another synthetic counterpart of pepper spray, pelargonic acid morpholide, was developed and is widely used in Russia. Its effectiveness compared to natural pepper spray is unclear and it has caused some injuries.

Pepper spray typically comes in canisters, which are often small enough to be carried or concealed in a pocket or purse. Pepper spray can also be bought concealed in items such as rings. There are also pepper spray projectiles available, which can be fired from a paintball gun.

Nichole KidmanOscar winner NICOLE KIDMAN is trying to raise awareness of violence against women. The actress, who is the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) - helped launch the Say No to Violence against Women campaign. She says, “One in three women will encounter violence in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime. So much of it is shrouded in silence. What we are trying to do is say this is something that needs to be addressed. A lot of it is taking away the stigma, creating awareness and not making it a silent pandemic.
