Before the incident

Pepper Spray container got discharged on accident before I got to Engineering. I was in Engineering recycling old batteries. They did not know how to neutralize it so I went to the cafeteria and got the needed supplies and helped prepare it. After that was completed I left and my throat hurt really bad my stomach was upset and I was very warm. At this point I remembered that I have a nightshade allergy and pepper spray is Capsaicin and I needed to go to the ED.
