    I have not used it. However, for decades, when around home, my family and i have used soap and water. Works well, in my experience, when the oleoresin is washed off within 10-20 minutes of contact. Keep in mind that the oleoresin can be transferred later from clothing-to-skin, and skin-to-skin (i.e. from one area to another), so clothing should be changed (when possible), and other body parts may need to cleansed also.

    "[Tablets] are great for emergency only. Also, ever try to wash hands or treat wounds with a pill?"
    Easy… dissolve tablet in very small amount of water and you have the equivelent of klearwater liquid.

    I don't think I'd be pouring Chlorine Dioxide into wounds… that doesn't match with current teaching.

    I would also like to see this WHO study that says bleach is ineffective (and for what)?
