Comment on YSK: Using dairy milk after being tear gassed or pepper sprayed doesn't provide more relief and has slightly increased infection risk. Use water or saline instead

  I’ve never been tased but I strongly suspect it would be taser, tear gas, pepper spray from best to worst. The effects of pepper spray is intense and long lasting, even when you shower after pepper spray will leave your pores and hit your face again, and maybe even run down to your junk if you aren’t careful

    Tear gas isn’t as bad as being tased. Also tear gas you build up a tolerance.

      Wait wait wait wait.

      How did you end up getting tear gassed in the military? How did you end up getting tased in the military? Why? Who would think that was useful or necessary?

        I knew a guy in the army. It was part of his training for gas masks.

        You train with it to get you used to it. First in basic and then again every few months.

        I don’t know about getting tasted, but getting tear gassed in the gas chamber is a standard part of basic training.

        When I was in we had to requalify every year. You can actually build up a tolerance so its not that bad.

        I got pepper sprayed in the military. In order to be allowed to wear pepper spray on our belts (for law enforcement), we had to be pepper sprayed and fight someone off.

        I found it strange, because it’s not like we had to know what it was like to be shot and fight back. It was also one of the worst experiences of my life. Getting accidentally splashed across the eyes with hot sauce ended up not so bad simply by comparison, so I had that going for me.

      Did you ride the full 8 on the taser, or did they make you do the instructor 100 seconds?

      I’d agree the 100 looks horrible, give me the spray in that case.
