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).

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 …

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 …

Works well pepper spray, not so much with tear gas I think

Get a clean plastic bottle, 1% saline is 1 g of salt per 100ml water. A standard 0.5l water bottle takes one teaspoon (5g) of salt. It should taste like the sea, but not too salty. (kind of like tears).

I read somewhere suggesting to add some soap to the solution to help remove irritants. (More on pepper spray) What is your opinion about that?

In Greece, we also use Maalox antacid liquid. I guess any antacid liquid will do the job.

Saline solution is not expensive. You can buy a liter of it for around 10$.
