Upon spraying, the mucous membranes will be swollen, leading to shut eyes, coupled with difficulty in breathing. Uncontrolled tears from the eyes will also result. Added to this, there will be a feeling of burning on the skin.

Browsing web sites, I started to buy pepper spray products that will provide personal defense to my aunt?s female boarders.

The Mace Pepper Gel was one of the items. It is the latest personal defense spray that can spray up to a distance of 25 feet. The assailant is rendered blind briefly when the spray sticks like glue on his face. The unit can be used up to three years.

Another product was the Guard Dog 18% OC Pepper Spray. Aside from the Oleoresin Capsicum spray, it also has an invisible UV dye. This leaves a dye mark on the assailant which leads to easy identification by the police.

The third item in my pursuit to buy pepper spray tools was the Mace Pepper Spray Jogger Unit which is for those who are fond of running and jogging. It has a built-in belt clip perfect for outdoor activities. It is compact in size with all the heat powers comparable to other sprays. Up to 10 one-second bursts can be given by this model.

The fourth product were the Pepper Shot Sprays. They are available in various sizes and models. Among these are the 1/2 and 2 oz pocket or purse models. Ones that also come in 1/2 oz hard case and leatherette are the Key Chain Models.

The last one I saw while looking to buy pepper spray items were the Pepper Spray Key Chains. Each is very convenient as it is also a keychain that is normally held in the hand. You are always ready if any attacker would try to hurt you.
