Once sprayed in the face, the attacker will feel a burning sensation in the eyes, throat and skin. The chemical composition of OC Pepper, CN Tear Gas, and UV Marking Dye causes teary eyes, eyes to slam shut, difficulty in breathing, coughing and choking, profuse tearing and an intense burning sensation to the face. When using the “Triple Action Model” the attacker is also marked with dye to assist with the identification of the attacker. This defense spray should provide the victim enough time to escape.

Once you feel you are in danger, you tend to panic and lose control. Try to maintain your composer, stay alert and be cautious. You cannot think clearly once anxiety comes over you. If you are walking along a dark corner of the street and suddenly a man harasses or stops you, stay calm, slowly reach for your Mace Defense spray, wait for a good chance to spray, take a deep breath and make sure that the nozzle is aimed towards your attacker and not directed towards you. Once the formula reacts to the attacker, retreat to a safe place and call for help. When the authorities arrive, the attacker should have an extended stay down at the local precinct.

In some states, defense sprays are legal and civilians are allowed to carry it with them. However, at some states, they are not. You need to check your local laws and with your local law enforcement to be sure if it is legal to carry Mace Defense Sprays.

For your safety, stay away from dark streets or alleys as much as you can. Look for alternate routes if possible in case your instinct tells you it is unsafe to pass that time. Pass a street where street lamps are well lighted or walk in a crowded place. It would be better than passing the street alone. Don’t stay out late. It is better to stay out with a companion.
