Do it the Islam way, get battery acid.

Though really the simplest self defense is probably a good knife that is easy to take out of your pocket and open up.

Though, if you live in a city where you have to watch your back all the time, it's time to move. At least that's how I see it. I prefer small quiet cities where murder is not a daily thing.

Seriously people, unless you have been sprayed by this stuff then kindly STFU, it is not as harmless as you make it out to be.

I qualify for all of the above and have been sprayed with OC spray 3 times. I'm Superbad. :D

Because the chemicals are absorbed through all your mucous membranes including your nose, whether you breathe in or not, and your lips, whether your mouth is open or not.
