When pepper spray is washed off the persons face and washed out the persons eyes soon enough then the pepper spray will not cause any permanent damage.

However if you do not wash the pepper spray out of the eyes and off the face then the pepper spray may cause permanent damage and blindness.

Having pepper spray sprayed into your face and eyes will be painful and as long as you wash the pepper spray off then you'll be just fine.

Pepper spray is a good thing to have to ward off dogs and some human attackers because the pepper spray is painful and causes you to lose focus on what you're doing.

So your eyes and face will be burning until you get some water and clean it off.

Pepper spray is also a controlled substance so if you have it do not take any pepper spray to school because you can be suspended.
