Bring a shit ton of water. More than you think you need, and then more than that.

Bring a mask. Preferably a gas mask, but anything is better than nothing.

Be alert. If you see something get thrown, even if you’re not sure what it is, run in the other direction. Better safe than sorry.

IF YOU GET TEAR GASSED:

DO NOT put milk in your eyes. Flush your eyes out with water, milk can cause infections in your eyes. Additionally, milk is no more effective against tear gas than water. Milk is effective against pepper spray.

Flush your eyes with water immediately. Keep rinsing them for 10-15 minutes, or just as long as you can.

TAKE OUT CONTACTS

When you shower, take as cold a shower as possible. It will suck, but hot water will enlarge your pores and let the tear gas seep in deeper. Be very thorough with soap, remember to wash your hair too.

Remove all contaminated clothing immediately, put it in a plastic bag and wash it as soon as possible. If you got directly tear gassed, you may have to throw the clothes away.
