Precautionary measures:

If during the mixing process liquid gets on your hands, you cannot simply wipe it off with a towel, since after a while your hand will still start to burn. And if you accidentally rub your eyes, it will be a nightmare. So be sure to wash your hands with soap.

And if the solution immediately gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water.

In principle, the spray does not cause any particular harm to health, but it should still be used carefully. Only you are responsible for all your actions.

Afterword.

This spray can be turned from a defensive weapon into a seasoning. To do this, use ethyl alcohol instead of isopropyl alcohol. And you can add your favorite seasonings to the pepper. And you can get a spray that you can spray, say, on meat before eating or before cooking as a marinade. Like this. Good luck everyone!

    Be sure to take non-drying oil, olive oil for example. If you use lean, it will work perfectly the first time. But after a week the spray will dry out and the can will fail at the right moment. You will inevitably remember the joke about a pistol with an uncut front sight.
