When released, it creates a mist in the air that irritates the eyes, nose, mouth, lungs, and skin, causing tears, coughing, difficulty breathing, and sometimes pain. It is typically non-lethal and its effects are temporary, but it can cause serious complications or injury, especially in enclosed spaces or to vulnerable individuals.
