Getting maced during training?

[jared91]

ok, i dont know if this is the right thread or not for this, but it sure seemed like it. as we all know, leo during training all get maced. they say that afterwards, rinsing with water only makes it worse by spreading it, and only offers short term comfort. well, ive been thinking... and this is just a REALLY random though, i dont know that this would even work, so this is why im asking in here. we all know, that when you eat spicey foods, to drink milk, because it is a base and will cure the burning in your mouth. well, if thats the case for your mouth, shouldnt this concept apply to your body/skin? instead of water, do you think drenching yourself in milk would be a better alternative? im just asking, because im going to eventually have to go through this. yea, its a weird question, and im looking for serious answers, a yes or no, and a reason why. please no just deal with it whimp we all had too. i would experiment, but yeaa. in concept, what do ya'll think. lets hear it.

I've OCed a lot of guys during training and have seen nearly every bit of booney medicine you can imagine... I would say that milk mostly makes a big mess, nothing more.

Fresh Air + Time = Recovery, that is a universal recovery prescription.

Baby shampoo at first seems to help some, but time and fresh air are what you need.

Use Dawn dish soap after exposure to wash everything that the mace came into contact with. Even put it in your eyes, the shit works! The mace is oily and Dawn does a awesome job at getting it off you completely. I have used it a few times with great success. I carry a small bottle in my trunk just in case I get some on me at work.

Whatever you do, do not rub your eyes or anything after you have been maced. You will regret it.

A high volume of cool running water is what you need.

If you insist on adding something to the mix, make it Dawn.

Dawn or baby shampoo seem to take the initial sting away, but as was stated before, air and time are about the only real think that works well.

Baby shampoo and cold water works for OC spray, but it will reactivate again if you take a hot shower.

I used a decon spray. Can't remember the name of it but it worked really well. I think our department uses this stuff:

+1 on the Dawn, if needed. Good luck

I used the BioShield as well once upon a time and seemed to help out. When I was in the USCG we had coolers with ice cold water and fans. That was it. Some people are hit harder than others.
