I was reluctant to carry the Wildfire pepper spray I got from Sammy. My closest chum swore it was a lot more proficient at repelling enemies, and he talked from experience. While it is non-lethal like all defense sprays, its effects are obviously a lot more intense.
The eyes react first the minute exposed to defense spray. This clamps shut because of pain. A burning experience on the skin contributes to the discomfort. Breathing is affected, causing uncontrollable coughing. All these are momentary reactions, and disappear within less than one hour. Pepper spray does not cause long-term damage.
I did appreciate the size of my very own defense spray in the beginning. This is little at 2 ounces and fits in my pocket, or my hand if I opt to hold it. That means better handling when I need to fire the spray.
Although this contains just a couple of bursts, a little pepper spray gives the added advantage of surprising the enemy as it can be concealed easily.
It was the spray strength that worried me, but Sammy assured me the 18 percent pepper concentration just meant I could spray less but still get a faster reaction. The greater the pepper formulation, the stronger the Scoville Heat Units (SHU) rating is.
The SHU is a measure of precisely how hot the pepper formulation is. When it is within the millions (2 or 3 million), it's not surprising to listen to screams of pain once the pepper grains go through the skin.
Even though sprayed on from a distance of 10 to 15 feet, the target will feel the full effects of oleoresin capsicum, and will abandon any thoughts of hurting you.
I have practiced handling the Wildfire spray, and wish I can be that alert as well as fast when I need to use this to fight off an aggressor. Sammy mentioned to remember that making use of the spray is designed to provide time so that I can go to safety.
