Do not spray in air or on human skin. It is very difficult to remove odor, taste from hands, mouth, and anything you touch.
The only thing I found to remove it from my hands was "Black Jack Asphalt & Tar Remover" found at Lowes or Home Depot.
It claims to be gentle on skin and IT IS !!!! You can use it on clothes, tools, fabric, skin and hair. VOC compliant. Biodegradable, and 100% organic. I'm extremely allergic to all chemical, odors. Fortunately, I have a knowledgeable husband.

I bought this for my dog and he did not stop chewing instead he dranked it like it was water this product does not work at all

This has been effective for my cat, who chews anything rubber coated like wires, or plastic like the edge of my computer monitor. The down side is it is hard to spray it precisely where you want it, and if you get enough of it around you can taste it in your sinuses and it is VERY NASTY STUFF. If you happen to get it on your hands, it takes several washings to get it off. It can get on your food and utensils and once it's on your mouth you have to just wait for it to go away. It may be "water-based" as claimed on the label, but it is very difficult to wash out.

This product is pretty much a waste of money. My Walker Coonhound will not stop digging up a huge potted plant in my kitchen. I purchased this product because the label reads that it is gentle on skin, hair and plants. This claim is true - my dog, myself and the plant have not experienced any dry irritation or rashes from this product. However, the product does not live up to it's primary function - my dog does not refrain from chewing anything that I spray the Bitter Yuck on. If anything, she is more attracted to the plant now that it is (literally) drenched in Bitter Yuck. To make this purchase even more disappointing and annoying, I accidentally got the Bitter Yuck on my own hands and (somehow) my mouth and I cannot remove it no matter what I try. In short, if you want to stop yourself from biting your own nails, get this product. If you want to get your dog to stop chewing, I would suggest researching other products or ask your vet.

Tonight at Petco I returned the Fooey bitter spray because it did not work and instead purchased Bitter Yuck at the rave reviews from the employees there. With renewed enthusiasm I applied this to my dog's paws. She is a chronic licker. A few minutes later I saw her licking very close to where Bitter Yuck was applied. So, I poured the contents of Bitter Yuck in a glass. My husband held the glass still while I dipped her dainty little paws in it one by one. She had a smile on her face as I did so. 3 inches of each paw was thoroughly soaked. About 10 minutes later there she was licking with renewed enthusiasm as I've never seen her lick before. The zeal with which she licked indicated to me that I gave her a new element of interest in her daily licking routine. She looked up at me, smiled with appreciation and bowed her head to lick harder than she ever has.

So much for Bitter Yuck...

Bought this to deter the dog from chewing our couch.. Waste of money! Now we have to buy a new couch-he may have chewed more because of this! And once its sprayed you can never get the taste out of your mouth or off your hands! Still can't touch the couch! It is impossible to get the spray-taste off your hands! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! We used about half the bottle on our couch and still had to throw it out-only bitter to us not the dog!

I used this product to keep my dog from chewing the vertical blinds. A tip given to me by the sales person at my local pet store worked wonders: have your animal close and watching you as you apply the spray to whatever you don't want them chewing/licking/etc. and spray some in his mouth at the same time while using whatever your discouraging word is (No, Bad, etc.). I did have to reapply daily (I assume because the blinds are vinyl and don't absorb well), but it worked and didn't stain either! Thanks Bitter Yuck!

I have been a groomer for 13 years and have tried several no-chew products, both for customers and my own animals. This product is fantastic and probably the best I've tried because it's:

-All-natural
-Alcohol free (won't sting hot spots or other wounds)
-Odorless
-Won't stain perfectly groomed fur or the furniture!
-Inexpensive
-It works!
