If you are pepper sprayed, do not touch the affected area. Blink to allow your tears to flush it away or use water to rinse.
The chemical irritant can cause a feeling of “bubbling” or “boiling” in your eyes, temporary blindness and eye pain. The effects can last from 30 to 45 minutes. Glatter said symptoms also may include burning in the throat, wheezing, dry cough, gagging and difficulty speaking.
Immediately blinking allows tears to help flush away some of the oils contained in the pepper spray. However, he recommended using baby shampoo or diluted dish-washing soap with water to remove them. Along with pain and tear production, tear gas also causes exaggerated muscle cramping in the eye and sensitivity to light that leads to eye closure, Glatter said.
Actual burns and blisters could form as a result. Ingestion of tear gas through the mouth can also lead to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.Johnson-Arbor strongly urges people not to pick up tear gas canisters. She's seen reports of protesters throwing them back at authorities, a practice which can be very dangerous.
If the tear gas was released outdoors, the agency advised seeking the highest ground possible as the dense vapor cloud travels close to the ground. If exposed indoors, leave the building as soon as possible. Glatter said contact lenses should be removed with clean gloves and glasses should be washed with soap and water. Glasses can be used again, but the CDC advises against reusing the contacts, even if they’re not disposable.
Cases of prolonged exposure could result in first- and second-degree burns and blistering. The CDC recommended treating with standard burn management techniques including use of medicated bandages.
