Default More Deer Repellent Q's...

Just discovered munched (and missing!) leaves on my fruit trees (Peach,
Apple and Cherry). I assume it's from doe-eyed deer. After reading around
the internet, I decided to mix up some, uh, rotten egg water (1 egg/1
gallon of water) with peppers (significant amounts [1/2 cup each?] of
freshly ground black pepper corns, ground red pepper flakes, paprika and
chili powder). It's now sitting on the front porch putrifying.

I suddenly got worried a bit ago that the peppers' oils would damage the
(very few) leaves left on the trees. Will spraying this concoction on the
leaves damage them? Will it, as a side benefit, kill the peach leaf curl?
Can I use it as a seasoning for venison?
