    Capsaicin olioresin which is basically a syrup of sorts made from the extracted oils will cause skin burns.

    I used to have a job mixing oils to make fragrants mostly but we occasionally made the solution that went into police grade pepper spray and it was like 1 part olioresin capsaicin to 4 parts solvent. No one ever wanted to make the stuff so I did. I got the olioresin on my skin one time. It wasn’t a lot. Just a few drops but it gave me something between a first and second degree burn.

    I still eat a ton of spicy food though but only because I’m addicted and I hate myself.
