The most popular, non-lethal, personal defense product today is the self defense sprays
There are three (3) basic chemical compositions used in sprays today and are:
- CS - ORTHOCHLOROBENZALMALONITRILE
- CN – ALPHACHLOROACETAPHENONE
- OC – OLEORESIN CAPSICUM
OC is the newest of the three and the only one that you should consider for self defense. There are combinations of the above but I would recommend buying sprays that contain OC. CS and CN are irritants to membrane tissues. They cause stinging pain and tearing and take from 5 to 30 seconds to be effective. If the assailant being sprayed is drunk, on drugs, or suffering from certain mental disorders, there is a possibility that the spray will have no or little effect. These conditions could raise the individual’s tolerance for pain, thusly; these sprays are not a wise choice in all instances.
OC is not an irritant, it is an inflammatory agent. When an assailant is sprayed with OC two (2) things happen instantly. First, the eyes clamp shut, hard, but if they do manage to open them they still have a hard time of seeing, because OC causes temporary blindness. Second, the OC spray causes an instant inflammation of the breathing tissues, restricting all but the amount of breathing that is needed for a person to live. All the conditions are temporary, but have the effect to the assailant as running head on into a speeding train. The OC works well in the conditions listed above where the CS and CN could have little effect.
In addition to not being as effective as OC, CN and CS take longer to wear off. But, all sprays have shown no permanent damage to the assailant.
OC is a natural chemical derived from various hot pepper plants (pepper spray). It is not toxic and will not harm the human body in the strength used in personal defense OC sprays.
