What if I accidentally spray myself or come into contact with my Pepper Spray or Pepper Gel?Updated a year ago

Pepper Sprays and Gels are safe when used as directed. But, if your Pepper Product comes into contact with your skin or eyes by accident you can follow these steps.

  1. Remove contact lenses immediately if you are wearing them.
  2. Rinse the affected area thoroughly with water or milk. Avoid rubbing!
    Rinsing with milk can help reduce the pain and duration because the fats in the milk help dilute the pepper oil.
  3. After rinsing for 10-15 minutes, wash your face with a gentle, non-oil-based soap.
  4. After washing, placing an ice pack wrapped in a towel over the affected area can also help reduce the burning sensation. 
  5. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.


Remember, it is crucial to follow the safety guidelines provided with the product for proper use and handling.
