    Its probably better than nothing if water is all you have. Although with pepper spray, water will spread the capsaicin more.

      Yeah. If you just kind of put water on it once, then all it does is smear it around a little. You have flush it like an eye-wash station, tons of water, and keep doing it for a little while. If you can poke some holes in the plastic lid, or unscrew it just slightly so there’s a dribble of water into your eyes for a while, that’s even better because it’ll last long enough without running out.
