maced

Sprayed with irritant

Maced means sprayed with Mace, a brand of tear gas or pepper spray used for self-defense: She maced the attacker and ran.

The term applies regardless of the actual brand used.

Being maced causes intense burning in the eyes and respiratory distress.

Separately, maced can mean struck with a mace—the medieval spiked weapon—though this use is rare outside fantasy contexts.
