      Folks, *forget* about vinegar for tear gas. This below is great (saline solution) and easy to make. Just water is fine. Diluted antacid (aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide kind) on your skin is fine. But saline is best, especially for eyes. (Yes, ahem, I know for sure).😬https://twitter.com/keith_ng/status/1170885286483464192 …

      Hey journos/other latecomers to HK. I'm a former volunteer ambulance officer and current journo (tear gassed twice this week), and today we're going make some Hotel Room isotonic saline. But first, let's talk about tear gas.

      And journalists and others in these protests. Please WEAR A HELMET. Tear gas hurts a lot but well, for those without underlying conditions, short exposure is.. Meh. Unpleasant. But that @#$! canister? I've seen people's skulls smashed by those. That's your threat. Wear a helmet.

          This is the stuff they use in Hong Kong for washing out tear gas from one’s eyes/face, but it’s expensive. Go to the first link in thread for instructions on how to make your own saline solution. Or just use water, not vinegar.pic.twitter.com/jqyD7IjZvZ

          All good advice. Also, especially if you’re a journalist reporting from the front lines, consider wearing shatterproof goggles in addition to a helmet. Getting hit by a canister/tracer in the head or eye is usually the biggest threat in these situations.https://twitter.com/epiellie/status/1266752753797410822 …

          Harm reduction for protests in a pandemic: •wear your mask + eye protection + heat resistant gloves •yelling can spread droplets, choose signs, drums, or similar noise makers •stick with a buddy group to keep your unknown contacts low •carry water + hand sanitizer + bandages

          Listen up. People need appropriate PPE appropriate if they will be the street—given these police methods. Helmets, shatterproof goggles, masks, saline. https://twitter.com/jgriffiths/status/1266936237459308544 …

          Wearing a helmet makes you a cop magnet.

          Sure seems with police ready to use rubber bullets and pepper balls on both protesters and identifiable journalists that a pair of safety glasses or better yet goggles would avoid being blinded.
