EFFECTS
Pepper spray is an inflammatory, not an irritant like Mace, causing immediate closing of the eyes and coughing. The length of the effects depend on the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts around thirty to forty-five minutes, with mitigated effects lasting for hours.
Though there is no way of completely neutralising pepper spray, its effect can be minimised or stopped. As veteran chili-eaters know, capsicum is not soluble in water, and even large volumes of it will have little to no effect. It is, however, soluble in fats and oils, and detergents can be used to wash it off.
Victims should be encouraged to blink vigorously in order to encourage tearing, which will help flush the irritant from the eyes. Some of the oil can be washed off the face using a degreasing, non-oily soap such as a mild dish detergent, and a fan will provide some relief.
Some "triple-action" pepper sprays also contain "tear gas" (CS gas), which can be neutralised with sodium metabisulfite (Campden tablets, used in homebrewing; though it, too, is fat soluble and could be washed off to a degree with milk), or a UV "blanketing" dye (little can be done against this, but its effects are not nearly as dramatic).
