I talked to a firearms instructor/gun shop owner/ex-cop in VT who said he would bring a burrito to his talks on self defense then spray it down good with his pepper spray and commence to eating it to demonstrate the safety of the product.

He did admonish to make sure the only active ingredient in it was capsaicin before trying it yourself.

I would recommend that you go easy on the spray.

The hottest pepper in the world is the Naga Viper (a variety of Habeñero) at about 1,800,000 Scoville units. A Jalapeño is about 2,500 - 8,000 SU.

Anti-inflammatory (arthritis) creams and pepper spray are generally about 5,000,000 Scoville units

Pure Capsaicin (15,000,000–16,000,000 SU)
