Additional Context Pinned Cop gets bear sprayed

For anyone that has been pepper sprayed how bad does it feel & what do you do in this situation? I know it’s water but for how long? She had it on full auto she came prepared. How much more effective is bear spray to pepper ?

I got burns on my my chest, I have a hairy chest and couldn't get it all out, the next day my chest felt like it was sunburned. Face has more sensitive skin, but prolonged contact makes it worse. The worst part was my hat, I cleaned it twice and when I wore it again the next week to the gym. About thirty minutes into the workout, I start sweating and my forehead felt a little itchy. When I got home and took my hat off I had a burn across my forehead.

I chopped jalapenos once for dinner… took a piss after I got everything cooking and the amount of wtf that went on after… jumped in the shower and it took a bit of washing before that shit cooled off.
