no, keep your eyes open and don't blink for as long as you can, it will delay the effect.
go to the bathroom before hand so you don't have to touch your junk anytime soon.

your head away from your body when you wash your hair. water will reactivate the OC and if you DONT

Scrub everything really well when your in the shower. Hair, ears, eyes (especially eyebrows and eyelashes). Once you think you've scrubbed enough....do it some more. It sucks to be at lunch and have that sh** reactivate.

Just to build on this-



After showering (especially the first time) be very careful what you do with the towel that you use. I made that mistake during the Academy, and probably stands as the dumbest thing I ever did

The advice I was given was .  "The best way to clear it up, super hot shower after (Heat breaks it down)  Use Lava or GoJo soap and your  woman's Loofah to really scrub it off...."

I've been sprayed so many times in the last 25 years, it's all relative now.
1st time was ugly, since then it's been direct shots, side shots, collateral damage during bar fights from rookies who don't know where to spray, etc, etc.

But the good thing is, I have clean sinuses for a few days, and as I have no hair anyway, what the heck.
It makes for good stories and laughs in the squad room, and it wears off relatively quick.

Now, a Taser, ya'll can have that damn thing.
Once was enough.

Opening my eyes after I got sprayed was worse than getting shot.

I'll take getting tased any day over that shit. It really is the devil's work as far as I'm concerned. I had to be led into the showers by my academy director and stood there fully clothed (we got sprayed in PT gear) in the shower at about a 60 degree angle sideways to the water just letting it run off my face and after 5-10 minutes, I started prying my eyes open and letting the water run across my eyes too. When I came out a good 30 minutes later, I felt good and just had a bad sunburn feeling on the sides of my face and my ears.


Two days later I figured it was all off of me (four showers and all that time since exposure), and headed over to my buddy's house to BS around since it was his last day shift before switching back to nights two days later. We were watching stand-up on TV and I started laughing really hard at something the comic said and my eyes teared up. Next thing I knew I had on sunglasses and was humming "Isn't She Lovely", because just like Stevie... I couldn't see shit. Everybody in the room had been OC'd before and they were all laughing at me knocking stuff off shelves trying to feel my way into the kitchen to get paper towels to dry my eyes with to make the burning stop.

Sucks getting sprayed.

It's amazing the shit that comes out of your face afterward, though.

I was afraid to wipe my ass or touch my dick for about a day.  I learned all kinds of remedies to supposedly help... after it was too late to do any good.

I think everybody should do it once.  Never been tasered, but I'm told it's definitely interesting.

i finally 9after being sprayed 6 times) figured out how to minimize re-activation

after they finally let you leave go home, go straight home, do not go anywhere else, go home,,

grab a huge bottle of dawn dish detergent
go to your bathtub
fill your bathtub as full as it gets with warm (as you can stand) water
when its half full pour in 2 to 4 cups of dawn
agitate to mix
when tub is full get in and submerge yourself
stay under water as much as possible laying on your back
after 10 minutes begin agitating the water near your face
make sure the the water is moving over your face and allowing the dawn to do it magic
after 10 minutes of this grab a washcloth and drench it with baby shampoo
wash your face under water
lay in a little longer, (your choice at this point) moving the water over your face to rinse

pull plug, let tub drain, spray out all the residue
take a shower like normal

i did this, no reactivation at all, went out and played with my kids and rode bikes, sweating like a mad man, no issues

Ivory liquid soap or baby shampoo. Wash your whole head three or four times with the stuff and cool running water. This will get the bulk of it off the surface. Then go with hot (as much you can stand) water. This opens the pores and gets the stuff out of the skin. And for your eyes, take a small wash basin and fill with cool water. Imerse your face and pry your eyes open and roll your eyes up and down and side to side. This will get the small specks of oc off your eyes and inner eyelids. Then dump the basin, rinse and refill. Do this last part three or four times to clear out your eyes.

My entire class did this. Four or five guys worked the decon area while the rest of us got sprayed and by the time everyone else was sprayed and it was their turn, there was enough of us recovered to staff the decon station.

My time to "feeling better" was about 15 minutes including the decon time. Prior to decon, I was totaly blind, I couldn't even pry my eyes open 1 minute after being sprayed.

We got hit with Capstun, which was rated at 5.5 million. This was 10 years ago, and I still get scared when I hear someone behind me yell "SPRAY"

If you could bottle pure evil, it would come out like OC spray...

Some of my favorite nicknames for OC:

Liquid evil
Karate in a can
Instant partner
Kung Fu spray
The 4oz. demon
and of course "The original can o' whoopass"

It gets easier the more you are exposed to it. Ive been hit with it at least 25+ times now and it still sucks but not as bad. The first time though I would have rather shattered my leg again than go through that. It's evil stuff, but effective. My partners hate when I OC guys when they are around or we are fighting

My OC experience was like anywone elses.  Baby shampoo rubbed in the eyes helped a great deal.  I recovered quickly and would prefer oc to tazer personally.  I do remember dealing w 2 drunks who were oc'd by a bar security guard and then taking a piss not thinking about possible contamination.  It was a shit hole bar.  After I walked out of the bathroom my dick slowly began to burn.  As the intensity grew I thought I just caught some sort of VD and my wife is going to think I'm cheating on her.  Then I realized it was oc on my pecker and I felt better.  My dick still hurt, but at least I wasn't going to be living out of my truck at the back of the sub station.
