Buy Pepper Spray
Pepper spray is a legal means of self defense that is for sale at various
locations. You may be asking your self why you need one. There can
be many reasons for that. Walkers, joggers, cyclists, mail carriers, and
other people in delivery like to carry it to protect themselves. Not only
can pepper spray protect you from an assailant, but also from attacking dogs or
other animals. People have a right to defend themselves and it is a way to
do this in a non lethal manner. Pepper spray is discreet, environmentally
friendly, easy to use, effective, and inexpensive to purchase.
Now you are probably wondering what exactly pepper spray is. It is
often made from a derivative of hot cayenne peppers. Pepper spray is not
an irritant like the tear gas, but an inflammatory agent. It is made
to affect the mucous membranes. Mucus membranes are: eyes, nose,
throat and lungs. When pepper makes contact with mucous membranes, it will
cause immediate dilation of the capillaries of the eyes. This will result
in temporary blindness and instant inflammation of the breathing tube tissues
(which cuts off all but life-support breathing). Pepper spray will not
deteriorate with age. It will also not cause lasting after-effects that
tear gases can cause.
A big misconception about pepper spray is that the higher the percentage of
the ingredients, the better it works. This is not always true. Most of the
fastest incapacitating pepper sprays are only 2% to 10%. In fact, the
lighter the fluid, the faster is penetrates the mucous membranes. A
good spray will put the assailant down and keep him or her down long enough to
allow you to escape and/or take control of the situation at hand. Another
advantage of pepper spray is that it will not emit a lot of fumes like tear
gases.
Pepper spray is not just made from hot cayenne peppers. It can also be
made from other potent peppers. These are mainly chili peppers. Some
other chili peppers that are used include: jalapeno, chiletpin, and habaneros.
All of these have one thing in common. They all contain a powerful substance
called Capsaicin. Capsaicin is a tasteless and odorless alkaloid.
Just a single drop of Capsaicin in 100,000 drops of water and the heat is easily
noticeable. In fact, Capsaicin can be detected by humans at one part per ten
million!
Now that you understand a bit more about pepper spray, you may feel better
about getting some. It is relatively safe to use and handle. It is
not uncommon for people to have several of them located in their house, cars,
purses, etc or as part of their key chain. Buying and carrying a pepper
spray is sure to give you peace of mind.
