Remember that “when chemicals used in tear gas react with moisture they cause a burning sensation, meaning that the eyes, skin and lungs are extremely susceptible. Oil-based creams, sunscreens & make-up will also absorb tear gas, so avoid wearing these” https://twitter.com/jjkisbabie/status/1266107074649354241">https://twitter.com/jjkisbabi...
