We use stream, however there is mist everywhere. So YES, IN THE FACE! There is no wind and cold so it was a fog of spray. Must have got some on my hand, rubbed my eye, feels like a red hot poker in there. Every sip of coffee burns as I swallow. I must be a masochist, feel the burn-love this stuff.
You lose ALL liquids inside of your body via your eyes, noise, and mouth!! Ohh and you feel as though you're face is on fire and you're lungs are trying to exit your chest.
Its an inflammatory, shuts things down. Mucus in the respiratory system, skin on fire like touching cherry red metal. It dissipates in about 45 minutes. However the more your around it the more your body accepts it and the less affected you are. I spent years at the Academy and have sprayed thousands of recruits. It doesn't bother me all that much. It kind of like when people eat spicy food, one can get use to it and eat hotter food as time goes on.
With each exposure one gets better. I must have in the tens of thousands by now. What was really funny was when I walked in and the staff, started coughing and gaging, I am still laughing.
Stay away from cants! New level of addiction that consumes chit tons of time and money. Lol. Lots of fun tho
