Why did they put cayenne pepper on a gunshot wound on prison break?

[squirtle]

On monday night one of the 2 brothers who have escaped (i forget their names) was shot and his brother managed to get him to a house of a friend and he asked for some cayenne which he sprinkled on his brothers wound. Why would he do that. I have done a ballistic trauma course and there was nothing in it about spicing up gun shot wounds!! Should i carry some in my bag from now on, and would any other spice be suffice?
