A reminder that CS gas is banned as a weapon of war by the Geneva convention.

Fine for cops to use on people though.

Also, remember that tear gas canisters are extremely hot. Don’t try to pick them up barehanded. Kick them away or use fireproof gloves to handle them and drop them in water. Throwing a bucket over the canister isn’t a bad idea either.

One good thing about exposure to tear gas is you eventually develop a tolerance to it and aren’t as incapacitated as the first exposure. Those first few times though can be brutal.

Which Maalox should I use, lemon or mint flavored?

Gonna recommend the traffic cone method as a good backup for dousing/removing the canister.
