While in theory, there are no long-term effects of pepper spray, which have seen the extreme inflammatory effects and burning, would beg to differ.
My experience: I personally have been sprayed with pepper spray in a workout, so I know exactly how feel. This was not a tiny stream of the spray grazed my eye. It was a full speed pepper spray fogger that hit me square in the face of only a few meters away. Once in 1994 when pepper spray was relatively new to the market, you’d think it would not have been that bad. If you ever bit into a really hot pepper, cayenne pepper is, then you might know what is hot. Or if you even ate the whole pepper. Now let’s crush a whole bag full of cayenne pepper and the juice in a spray bottle that has a propellant. Now imagine you get this stuff straight in the eyes, mouth and nose.

Since pepper spray irritates the lining of the nose and throat, making breathing difficulties, there have been reports of dizziness, confusion, disorientation and a lack of muscle control has been . While this may be a side effect, it can more directly be attributed to a lack of oxygen or the stress of being sprayed. In some cases, the effects of pepper spray last beyond the normal 30-60 minute recovery time and can cause problems in the gastrointestinal tract. Because capsaicin (cayenne pepper) is used worldwide as a spice, a person who is adversely affected by eating something seasons with cayenne pepper, can experience the same effects as dosed with pepper spray.
