How to treat a reaction from pepper spray?!


Question: How to treat a reaction from pepper spray?
Its not what it sounds like, I was testing out my pepper spray tonight, only to find it defunct. It got all over my hands and after washing and scouring and ointmenting and bandaging and taking Tylenol for the inflammation, nothing is working. Its been three hours and I've got the same pain. Please, please, please someone help me. I can't go to the Health Center on campus, its closed on the weekends, and I don't have aloe, or milk. Can someone help me, please?

Wet your hand and then rub them over with baking soda. If you don't have that then you can use milk.

I know it is a little late, now, but if you had the wrapping the spray came in. it would give you instructions. It depends on what kind of spray it is, too. My spray says,"..wash affected area thoroughly with water. DO NOT use any creams, salves or soap. Expose area to fresh air. Effects will generally disappear after 45 minutes. If symptoms persist, see a physician immediately." How old is your spray? They should be replaced at least every 2 years. Always keep the package information in the future.

The only good thing is milk. It's worth going and getting some.
