    The wind will blow it at you when you spray it if you are standing downwind from what you are trying to spray.

    The spray comes out like a strong shooting jet stream, not like a mist. Sort of like a far reaching water pistol. It would have to be a pretty strong wind to blow it back and up at your face. But yeah, not smart to spray into a strong wind. Once when i was little, my older brother and i were riding on the Staten Island ferry. We were on deck, leaning over the railing to watch the waves. My brother thought he was so tough, spitting out into the sea....until his glob came right back in the strong winds and hit him in the face. Ha ha.
