Remove any clothing that has bear spray on it and wash the affected areas of your body with mild soap and cool water.; If you get bear spray in your eyes, leave the area where the accident occurred. Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes. Flush your eyes with cool water until you feel relief, which is typically around 15 minutes.; Regardless of the part of your body that you spray with bear spray, consult your healthcare provider to determine if you need additional treatment.;
