For my beloved Stone pelters. how to avoid or protect yourself from the effects of teargas. Tear gas usually is delivered in the form a grenade, which is fitted onto the end of a gas gun and fired with a blank shotgun cartridge. Therefore, you may hear shots being fired when tear gas is used. Dont assume you are being shot at. Do not panic. Look up when you hear the shot and avoid being in the path of the grenade. Tear gas grenades often explode in the air, delivering a metal container which will spew gas. This container will be hot, so do not touch it with naked hand. Do not pick up an unexploded tear gas canister, since it could explode and cause injury. The best defense against tear gas is a gas mask, but if you dont have a mask there are still steps you can take to minimize damage from tear gas. If you think you might encounter tear gas you can soak a piece of cloth or paper towel in Salt or lemon juice or cider vinegar and store it in a plastic bottle. You can breathe through the acidified/Salty cloth for several minutes when teargas will start affecting, which should give you sufficient time to get upwind or reach higher ground. If managable Goggles are a great thing to have. You can use tight-fitting swim goggles . Dont wear contacts lenses anywhere you might encounter tear gas. If you are wearing contact lenses, immediately remove them. Your contacts are a loss as is anything else you cant wash. You can wear your clothes again after you wash them, but wash them separately that first time. If you dont have goggles or any sort of mask, you can breathe the air inside your shirt, since there is less air circulation and therefore a lower concentration of the gas, but that is counterproductive once the fabric becomes saturated. First Aid First aid for eyes is to flush them with salty water or water until the stinging starts to abate. Medicated bandages can be used on burns... Hope it may be helpfull for my beloved stone pelters
