The best thing to do for pepper spray is to rinse briefly with water, about 5-7 minutes, opening your eyes in the water, it will help cool the burning. Then immediately go to a fan or AC unit and sit in front of it for 30-40 minutes, making sure to keep breathing and keep your eyes open. The faster the oil dries the faster the relief sets in. DO NOT STAY IN THE WATER. Water reactivates the chemicals in the spray, and staying in the water too long will just prolong the pain.
Some people have had benefitial results using a few products, but it was only mild relief. Baby shampoo is said to have worked for some people, and others have had success with Dawn dish detergent.
When you take a shower afterwards, hold your head in the shower, looking down. Do not take a "normal" shower, as the pepper spray will still be on your skin. The running water can cause it to run down your body and reactivate the oil, causing burning in unwanted areas of the body if not careful.
But the #1 best way to help your body cope with OC pepper spray is to relax and let it wear off.
Note: Pepper spray can cause reflashes up to 24 hours after being sprayed, use extreme caution during this period of time.
