Infant doused with pepper spray as families brawl at Idaho Wal-Mart

I was gassed in Boot camp in Orlando in 91 also. I was "pepper sprayed" or OC in PAX River for Naval Security Force(NSF) training. Believe me, the pepper spray was MUCH worse. I remember the tear gas effect going away after less than couple of hours but the OC was much more painful and lasted couple of days. It reactivates when it gets wet. It burned everytime I bathed or took a shower. I yawned about 12 hours after I got sprayed and it reactivated when my eyes teared up a bit. It happened on a drive on the way to FL in SC. Good thing I was the passenger at the time.

I went through boot camp at Orlando also, in 1979. That was when I had my first and second gassing. Then again at Groton, CT in their sub school because I worked on the USS Fulton (AS-11) submarine tender and had to go through periodic gas mask training.

That Pepper Spray sounds like some truly mean stuff!! No antidote?

I was at Tiki opening one year and a fight broke out. Cops came over to try and subdue, to no avail, so they hosed down the combatants. I was standing nearby and the slight mist or whatever it was stung my eyes. I can't imagine getting sprayed up close and personal. It didn't seem to phase these ol' boys, though - they came out swinging and ended up face first on the pavement.

I guess if drunk enough..........

Having it in my eyes was bad enough but what freaked me out most was having it all over my chest. That made breathing difficult.
