When it comes to personal protection, there are as many options out there as there are people wanting to protect themselves. From safety whistles, to defense spray, to concealed weapons, there are personal protection measures that run the full spectrum, from extremely mild to completely deadly. If your personal safety preferences run somewhere toward the middle of the spectrum, as most people do, then one of the best options out there for protecting yourself from would be attackers is wildfire pepper spray. And in the category of hot pepper spray, one of the most popular brands on the market is wildfire defense spray.

Advertised as "law enforcement strength", this highly popular brand of wildfire pepper spray will stop an attacker in his or her tracks. Specially designed to be one of the "hottest" brands of defense spray available, this defense spray is 18% oleoresin capsicum; most brands of defense spray have on average 10% or less. The active ingredients in oleoresin capsicum include a chemical derivative from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus - which includes chili peppers. So think about the hottest chili pepper you have ever eaten, multiply that by 20 or so, and then imagine getting hit in the face with it.

With a wide variety of sizes available, from 1/2 ounce to 1 pound, there is a wildfire pepper spray to fit every situation. If you are someone who spends a lot of time in the mountains and prefer a non-lethal method of repelling animal attacks, the 1 pound size might be right for you. If you live in a fairly safe neighborhood and want something for "just in case", then the 1/2 ounce key-chain version might be ideal. And ranging in price from $10 to $40, all of the sizes are highly affordable - not that you can really put a price on safety.

Personal attacks occur on a daily basis, in every type of town, to every sort of person. While there is not much you can do to prevent an unexpected attack, there is something you can do to stop one. Be aware of your surroundings, carry pepper spray, and know how to use it. You may never need it, but if you ever do, you will be glad you had it.
