Pepper spray is made from a very powerful alkaloid called Capsaicin. Capsaicins are in chili peppers such as: Jalapeno, Chiletpin, Cayenne, and Habaneros. Capsaicins are tasteless and odorless, but they pack a punch. A single drop in 100,000 drops of water and the heat can be noticeable by any human. In fact, Capsaicin can be detected by humans at one part per ten million! It is very powerful stuff!
Pepper spray is a defensive spray agent. It is not an irritant like tear gas, but an inflammatory agent. Pepper spray is made to affect mucous membranes (eyes, nose, throat, lungs). When pepper spray makes contact with mucous membranes, it will cause immediate dilation of the capillaries of the eyes. This will result in temporary blindness. It also causes instant inflammation of the breathing tube tissues, which cuts off all but life-support breathing. Pepper spray will not go bad, expire, or will not deteriorate with age like tear gas.
