I did that with habañeros once. Once. Hours writhing in agony, washing and running cold water to no avail...

Never considered it, but keeping Sudecon wipes (made for pepper spray decontamination) can come in handy for... other decontamination (*** The liquid in the wipes can be squeezed directly into the eyes, to mitigate the burning faster. Will allow a person to open their eyes and be able to see, much faster than just water or milk).

P.S.
If you ever inadvertently get hit with pepper spray, and it gets in your hair/face, wash your hair and face in the sink several times before jumping in the shower, otherwise, the water running down your body will carry the pepper spray with it, elsewhere 😉

Fortunately, didn't have to learn it the hard way, but this was my reaction upon hearing about it.🤣🤣🤣
 
I remember one day at work. Cooked up some ramen for lunch. We had some serious hot sauce, to the point that I usually only added a drop from the tip of a knife to my soup. Normally very careful when handling the bottle, but must have had some on my hands so when around 3 o’clock comes around I started rubbing my face and eyes … 😬 … needless to say I spent the next 15 minutes with my face in the eyewash station.

I loved that shit. I was like Zed from Police
Academy, kept going back through the house. CN and CS I didn’t find to be too unpleasant. OC on the other hand, there is no escape, at least for me. I have about 60 seconds that I can still be effective, after that, I am useless. They talk about 10% of the population will have no reaction, but out of seeing hundreds of people sprayed, I have never met any of those 10%.

In the debate over stream vs fog/cone, I got to see the fog choke someone out IRL. First blast to the face, "Ah, that stuff ain't sh#t!", the 2nd blast was the fog, as he was inhaling while talking shit.

"Down goes Frazier!"

The effect was instantaneous, dropped the guy gagging and choking (then vomiting while choking/coughing). As bad as that stuff burns, I don't even want to imagine what a lungful feels like.

Before global warming, we were the coldest town in America at least once in each season. Sometimes once a month. That translates to lots of snow as well.
I graduated in ‘67. 12 years of school, 0 snow days. There was no such thing.

I think I remember you saying you are in Idaho now. Stanley, maybe, by the sound of it. I'm over on the Snake River in the West. Only a few hours from Stanley but a world of difference in our weather. I love that Sawtooth country though, some of the most beautiful scenery on earth.
