What could this be?!
Question:
What could this be?
can pepper spray or mace cause breathing difficulty or coughing? I was at the bar last night and something was sprayed or went off. The entire building cleared out coughing... I was coughing as well and had difficulty breathing? Could this be pepper spray or mace? There was no odor...
Answers:
yes. it is a respiratory irritant and the pepper in it is very strong, so thats why it hurts bad, causes eyes to water, coughing fits and shortness of breath. the effects are temporary and ultimately harmless, which is why it is such a good law enforcement tool.
