Anyone ever been sprayed with bear spray?

I was spraying out some that was past it's exp date when the wind changed and I got a very small amount in the face. It burnt like hell. I couldn't imagine getting it directly in the face.

I think it's just pepper spray in a larger canister and shoots it out in a cone rather than a linear spray. I've been sprayed with cop pepper spray, if that helps any, and it will definitely ruin your day..eyes snap shut, nose starts runnin', skin gets hot. Not exactly a recreational experience.

I believe the bear spray uses a stronger formula, than the ones used on humans.
