Tipp des Tages : 04 May

Clean tear gas


When you participate in a demonstration, there is always the risk of receiving tear gas by the police. If you can not much against the effects of this gas, here are some tips to clean and minimize the effects over time.
First we must wash our face with water, gargle with water, blow our noses and rinse the inside of the nostrils.
Then we need to change clothes completely as soon as possible and take a shower.
Clothes should be cleaned with a good washing poxder : tear gas tends to remain impregnated on fabrics.
Above all, do not try to pick up the tear gas canisters on the ground : the police normally clean up after an event. Moreover, if the bomb did not explode, we could be injured very seriously.
Council of a myopic: Do not wear contact lenses when you go to an event where there is likely to receive tear gas : this could be extremely painful and the cornea may be damaged.
