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)

I would have to be very hard up to use pepper spray on my food. I put away four bushels of four varieties of chiles this fall. One medium for flavor and three kinds of hot chiles. But I do have a couple of pepper sprays that are way past their use-by date for defense. Probably still good for a culinary emergency. lol
