Something Different "Wasp Spray"

[ellis4538]

Even if you have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you....and you can carry it in your car with no problem!!

Did you know this?  I didn't.  I never really thought of it before.

I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat.

Wasp Spray

A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection.  She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.

The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get
to the hospital for an antidote.  She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would.  She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection.
Thought this was interesting and might be of use.

On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life.

Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School.  For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.
Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."
Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray.  The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes".  It's a tip he's given to students for decades.

It's also one he wants everyone to hear.  If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the wasp spray.

"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out."

Maybe even save a life.

Please share this with all the people in your life!!!!!!

Good to remember these tricks...


I wonder if they come in Black Cans with a collapsible lid?

Wasp spray is nasty stuff.  The antidote is atropine( which isn't really an antidote it is a cholinestrisase blocker).

Same thing we use to carry as nerve agent antidote.

Can I use it on my northern European, protestant relatives?

Seriously, good idea!  I know I don't even like spraying the stuff it's so nasty.  Maybe it's the wasp in me!

Isn't that the stuff they told you to slam into your thigh?

[2HOW]

yes, Im taking the large injector between my thumb and fore finger and injecting myself into the meaty portion of my thigh, I am now turning into a quivering bowl of jelly as the Atropine and the pralidoxime is delivered into my blood stream.

Yep.  Later they changed to 2PamChloride.

I'm not too sure that I would use a product that could permanently blind someone for self defense. The law suite that followed would more than likely ruin you financial and you could end up in jail for using a product that you "KNEW" could do this type of damage.When I was taking the NY state Armed guard class my instructor told us to stay away from any "devastator" type ammo as this could be used as proof that you didn't want to just stop someone you wanted to kill or punish them above and beyond what a court may dole out. I'll stay with "mainstream" self defense tools thank you.

[Pathfinder]

Yep.  Later they changed to 2PamChloride.

I dated her in college, didn't I?   

Majer is right - absolutely do not use this stuff. Unless you are attacked on your porch, and there is a wasp nest above you, and you have to use it as a last-ditch weapon, a good lawyer will saute' you alive in front of a jury. The mind boggle at all of the ways you will get hung out to dry.

Using wasp spray is equivalent IMHO to "shooting to wound" or firing a warning shot. Just say no, don't do it, be serious about your defense. Do not look for gimmicks.
