 Unfortunately, the burning sensation caused by pepper spray is not easy to quickly alleviate. The most important thing to remember if you ever get hit with it, is **DO NOT TOUCH OR RUB YOUR EYES**. Flushing your eyes out with water, or milk diluted with water, can help. If you don't have either of those within reach, your best bet is to lean your head forward and allow your own tears to start flushing it out.  Unfortunately, the burning sensation caused by pepper spray is not easy to quickly alleviate.

-Of course because Pepper Spray is an aerosol aimed typically at the facial area, it also has a very unpleasant effect on the mouth, nose, throat and lungs. Directly inhaling it will cause inflammation of the tissue throughout those areas. Drinking the water/milk mix will help reduce the effect in your mouth and throat. You can flush some out of your nose by rinsing with the same mix, but obviously you can't inhale milk into your lungs to relieve that irritation. Typically, the effect tends to be most pronounced for about 15 minutes. People with Asthma or other breathing issues might require use of their inhaler if exposed.+Pepper Spray has a very unpleasant effect on the mouth, nose, throat and lungs.

 The best advice for dealing with law enforcement using pepper spray is really, **DO NOT** be near them if you see an officer preparing to use it. This is also why it's not a bad idea to wear protective goggles & a mask or respirator, if you're the kind of person to hang around protests. This equipment will greatly reduce your chances of a very unpleasant experience with pepper spray or tear gas. You //should// be able to walk or run away from even a direct spraying if you're wearing both. Then you just need to make sure you wash any of it off your skin which might've been exposed. The best advice for dealing with law enforcement using pepper spray is really, **DO NOT** be near them if you see an officer preparing to use it.
