A person sprayed/exposed to OC may get some of the agent into the nasal passages. OC’s inflammatory characteristics will cause the mucus membranes to secrete an abnormal amount of discharge. This is usually characterized by a large amount of discharge from the nose. Of the four areas affected by OC, the mucus membranes seem to recover the quickest and cause the least medical complications. Patients should be encouraged to blow their nose and try to get the particles and discharge out of their nose.
