The main ingredient in pepper spray is Oleoresin Capsicum, it is an extremly powerful extract from hot chili peppers . A pharmacist named Wilbur Scoville first developed it around 1912 and the Scoville scale is the accepted standard for measuring how hot a chili pepper is. Measuring the heat of peppers is much more sophisticated now than it was when it was originated but it is still called Scolville Heat Units to honor its inventor.
For an example of how potent pepper spray is , think about it this way. A Sweet Bell Pepper has a heat rating of 0 shu. A Jalapeno Pepper has a heat rating of between 3000 and 8000 shu. Tabasco Sauce and Cayenne Pepper have a heat rating of between 30,000 and 60,000 shu.

Filed under Parenting | Comment (0)Pepper Spray Is Used School Bully To To Severely Injure An 8 Year Old Girl
Hello Everyone,
I would like to discuss an article I read that was a little disturbing . A few individuals my think this is a little out there but I feel it is a great example of how pepper spray should be a means of defense for adults .
It was about a school bus full of children on their way to school. There was one kid in particular that was notorious bully. He was known for picking on younger kids, normally around the ages of 10. And this student was in the 11th grand mind you.
Somehow this student had acquired a bottle of Pepper Spray Well, on October 25th during the bus ride to school he decided to bully a nine year old girl. He sat next to her and told her to give him her lunch money . When she refused to do it and pulled out a bottle of Pepper Spray and pushed down the button and didn’t let go and continues to spray while she was unable to breath .
Many other children on the bus were also unable to breath do it being a small enclosed space.
Under normal circumstances only a 2-3 second burst of pepper spray is used and that is more than enough. This kid depressed that button and never took his finger off it . When other students tried to intervene he sprayed them as well .
When the bus driver realized what was taking place he stopped the bus and managed to break up the situation. The effects on several students including the little girl was extremely severe. The pepper spray badly affected several students on the bus including the little girl. The injuries cause by the pepper spray resulted in 3 students being taken by ambulance to the hospital .
This is a very gloomy story and I was very shocked when I first read it. Children receiving pepper spray from their parents is becoming more and more popular . I’m not saying the parents of this teenage boy had bought it for him, that was not mentioned in the article.
I personally feel in some cases pepper spray can be of a great benefit to children, but there are many things to be considered before getting your child pepper spray . You need to know you kids. You need to ensure that they know to use it only when it is absolutely vital .
It is also crucial to make sure they are old enough to understand the power it holds . I would not recommend giving pepper spray to anyone under the age of 16.
If any of you out there have younger children I think the best bet is to get them a Personal Alarm. It stays on their key ring and has a very loud alarm in case of any issues it will alert someone that there is an issue.
So the moral is judge your children and really consider it before you give the young ones pepper spray.
