[QUOTE="mike2010, post: 1299207, member: 14364"] FOX has a known Carcinogen in their spray called Trichloroethylene. It's a jet-engine degreaser that is a major major liability in and of itself. Not to mention it's a liability to those who use this product. I don't think you want to be breathing in a known cancer causer. Seems a little risky. Also, Punch contains a known Carcinogen as well called Perchlorethylene. It was banned by the dry cleaning industry. I wouldn't want to use that one either another major liability. If you don't believe me check out an MSDS. They'll probably be pretty reluctant to give one out but you can still obtain one. In terms of which sprays are the most potent you want to look at Major Capsaicinoids (MCC's). They are the most accurate indicator of how potent a spray is. OC% is the amount of raw pepper in the formulation, while SHU's is the pungency of that raw pepper. After the formulation has been diluted with whatever makes up the spray you are left the MCC's the true strength of the formula. Anybody who says otherwise is either uninformed or just lying. Def Tech First Defense is .18 MCC's (Level I), FOX is .71 MCC's (Level II), Punch is .67 MCC's (Level II), and SABRE Red is 1.33 MCC's (Level III). Finally, the WASP spray being a better alternative than Pepper Spray is a MYTH. Police departments worldwide use pepper spray because the inflammatory effects of this agent work on those which cannot feel pain (very important). The inflammatory effects of pepper spray cause eyes to close involuntarily and produce a loss of breath sensation. Pepper spray has been proven effective on deterring and incapacitating aggressive, combative, intoxicated and drug induced individuals for over 20 years. To date, no human testing has been conducted on WASP spray and its a violation of federal law to use in self defense. STICK with the PEPPER SPRAY!
