Is bear spray like mosquito spray.

  Bear spray works as well on humans as it does on bears.

  No, it's like a super pepper spray. You definitely don't want to spray it on yourself.

  No, bear spray is the same as pepper spray, except highly pressurized to shoot a longer distance (10m vs 2m). Bear spray has the same active ingredient as pepper spray (capsicum).

  If you spray it on yourself certainly bears won't be your biggest immediate problem ...
