Question
Mr Pastore: I am in the security field and we are going to have our pepper spray training which i understand involves a direct hit, can you give me any pointers on how to ease the effect, i understand that water is available for those who went through it, i was curious if they made anything that would protect your eyes like drops?  if not would be a good idea>>??  thanks

Answer
Hi Marc,
      First let me appoligize for not answering you sooner. For some reason I never go your orginal question till now. As far as easing the effect of the pepper spray, I don't know of anything other then to flush your eyes and face with water afterwards. Hope this helped somewhat.
