You know pepper spray is often used in self-defense or riot control, and you know the effects—pain, tears, coughing, and sometimes temporary blindness. But what is it that makes this concoction so potent?
Pepper spray is mostly made of capsaicin, which is extracted from plants in the Capsicum genus. Because chilis are included in this category, the name “pepper” was attached, and it officially became “pepper spray.”
Packaged and sold in canisters, pepper spray became a favored tool among those interested in self defense. The canisters are often made small enough that they can be concealed in one’s pocket or purse. In some cases, they are even made so small that they are constructed into keychain pepper spray.
