Is pepper spray damaging to one's eyes?!


Question: Is pepper spray damaging to one's eyes?
Against my proper judgement, today I though it would be funny to scare a friend of mine. Little did I know that she keeps a can of pepper spray handy. Long story short it has been several hours since she sprayed me and my eyes are still stinging (they were burning horribly before but after flushing them with water for 10 -15 minutes they were just stinging) Should i go see a doctor?

Answers:

Generally the severe effects can last up to 45 minutes, however pepper spray does not cause permanent damage. Maybe you should take a break from trying to relieve the pain as this may be prolonging the irritation to the eyes.
