Thank you for purchasing our products, and for taking the time to make your inquiry. You are wise to consider being exposed to the product, although I will not gloss it over -- it will be a very unpleasant experience. The odds of you wondering what ever possessed you to do this in the first place, and wishing you never did it virtually a sure thing.
That stated, it will serve at least two purposes, and you addressed both of them. Do you have a cone fog or stream pattern unit? Either way you should not get sprayed from any closer than 6 feet away. The person spraying you should do a side-to-side motion to make sure they get you in the face as simply as possible. If they try to spray you directly they may need to take a bit longer to be accurate which could result in you receiving a heavier exposure than necessary. If it is a cone fog unit, you can also just spray it into the air and then walk through the mist. It should still slam your eyes shut, and it will allow you to clean up quicker, because you will not have as much formula on you. It is good to have someone else with you so they can talk to you in case you have a panic attack -- it even happens to veteran police officers after being hit with our product.
If you use the Sudecon wipes you should be able to open you eyes and function in 7 to 15 minutes. If you are lightly exposed (by walking through the mist) it can be even quicker. Trust the product to work. The first few wipes of the face (never rub your eyes or skin after being sprayed) should remove the formula from the surface of the skin. They use a new, clean towelette and squeeze the solution over your "closed" eyes. Trust it to work with nothing added, no additional water or anything. You can sit in front of an air conditioner, or fan to help cool you down during this process, but the
bottom line is that the formula will stop the burning spontaneously -- one moment you will be hurting, and the next you will notice that it has subsided. You will want to wash your hair and shower a while later. If you shower right away the burn will return. Another thing to think about is that
you may want to keep your head tilted forward when washing your hair and face, since the pepper running down your body could contaminate and ignite some other rather sensitive areas below your navel, if you get my drift.
YES, take out your contacts. You will surly ruin them if they are exposed to the formula.
The Sudecon are about 7 by 11 inches in size and are an impregnated paper that is strong enough to not tear easily, while remaining gentle on the skin. Again, do NOT rub, only gently wipe the contaminated areas.
If you decide to take a hit, drop me a line and let me know what you think of the results.
Thank you.
