Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I have the pepper spray in an aerosol can. It is specifically for arthritis sufferers. I buy it at the health food store. Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 LOL when I hear the word Capsicum, I think of the time my mom told me to buy some HP(High Potency) Capsicum Cream and apply it to my aching back, that I had injured. Oh my God, I felt like my skin was up against a red hot flame. Such pain and misery, like nothing I've ever felt in life. I took strong pain medicene, put cold wet towels on my back and still the pain was so intense, my BP went extremely high, from the tense feeling some such intense pain. We washed and washed my back with soap and water trying to remove it, but I had had my husband really massage it in, so it wasn't to effective at removing it. If you use the Capsicum Cream they advertise on TV, DO NOT USE THE HP(HIGH POTENCY) version of it. I promise me, you'll remember these words of caution, if once you ever try it on your aching joints......... BTW Cayene Pepper is Capsium..... It says so on my bottle that I got at Sam's Club. Cayene is supposedly the only hot pepper that doesn't do damage to the lining of your stomach. I put about 1/8 tsp of the dry ground cayene in a cup of hot water to ward away colds, when I've been exposed to sick folks. It helps.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Now, is that to warn off the thieves? I used to carry pepper spray in my purse for that purpose. Then grew old enough I knew they wouldn't bother me anyway so threw it out. <grinning> linda - <grow514 > I have the pepper spray in an aerosol can.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 LOL! That's two different pepper sprays....the one I mentioned is specifically for arthritis...and not as strong as the one for repelling attackers. In either case they both do a good job. LOL!
