Additionally, OC can cause breathing issues as it irritates the respiratory system, leading to coughing, choking, or difficulty breathing. The spray also causes a burning sensation on the skin, which is a common side effect.Rate this question:

Water, fresh air, time.

Water, fresh air, clean towels.
- C.

Using clean towels may help to remove the spray from the skin, but it is not mentioned as a necessary step in neutralizing the effects. Sudecon wipes may provide some relief, but they are not the only solution.Rate this question:
