HOW TO DEAL WITH TEAR GAS:

If you can, carry around spray bottles with a baking soda and water solution (three teaspoons of powder for every 8.5 ounces of liquid). It will help neutralize the effects of tear gas particles #BlackLivesMatter
Most important thing to do when you get tear gassed is to move away from the cloud of gas.
Close your mouth, and (if possible) your eyes, while seeking high ground, away from the chemical powder.
Wash any riot control agent from your skin with large amounts of cool water. Take extra care to wash and lather your hands well with soap before you touch your face, so you won't hurt yourself again.
Or if you have the baking soda and water solution, quickly spray it in your eyes and mouth.
If your eyes are burning or your vision is blurred, take off your glasses and take out contacts with clean hands, then rinse your eyes with plain water for several minutes.
Tilt your head so water rushes over your eyes. Clean your glasses thoroughly and do not re-use contacts
