      Rinse the affected area immediately with cool water. Use a hose or outside tap if outdoors.

    • 2

      Rinse yours eyes for 15 minutes to remove the spray. Remove contact lenses as quickly as possible.

      Wash the skin with a non-oil based soap. Salves or greasy cleaners will trap the particles on the skin. Continue washing until your skin feels comfortable.
