Bear repellent is a powerful spray designed to deter aggressive bears in the wild. It contains capsaicin and related capsaicinoids—the same active ingredients found in chili peppers—which cause temporary irritation to a bear’s eyes, nose, and lungs when sprayed. This discomfort drives the bear to retreat, giving humans time to move to safety. Bear repellent should be used only in emergencies and sprayed in short bursts toward the bear’s face from a distance of about 25–30 feet. It’s an essential safety tool for hikers, campers, and wildlife enthusiasts in bear habitats.
