The resulting inflammation causes the eyes to close and all | breathing, except the minimum amount to sustain life, to stop. This allows | the victim enough time to escape and obtain help. | - Seven of Clubs Imports PEPPER SPRAY is made from the capsicum | family of the pepper plant (cayenne). If you have ever gotten cayenne | in your eye you know how effective this spray is! A local cop reported in a story published in the Vancouver Province last week that he used his pepper spray (presumably of the no-nonsense professional variety) on an upset suspect with "no effect". I have no expertise or first-hand knowledge about this product. But if I were considering it I'd get some information from sources other than those with an interest in selling it to me.
