PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING IF YOU ARE GOING TO A PROTEST.
Do not under any circumstances pour milk or Maalox into someone's eyes. Milk and Maalox can temporarily alleviate the pain of chemical weapons exposure, but it does not do anything to remove the residue or prevent recurrent reactions.
The recipe in this graphic is the recipe for chemical weapons wipes which are used like sudecon wipes- tilt your face up, close your eyes tight and squeeze the liquid from the towels directly over your closed eyes and then wipe from the eye outward on both sides of your face before using the wipe to remove the rest of the chemical weapons residue from the face.
This solution will remove the residue and help prevent recurrent reactions. Milk and Maalox cover and permeate through the residue, and then when you shower, the mace, capsaicin, or CS reactivates and you get spicy again. The wipes will not remove everything, but they will make things astronomically better than they would have been before.
It is also worth noting that tear gas is not actually a gas, it is a cloud of tiny tiny crystals, that get in your skin and in your eyes in tiny splinters. When you get out of a cloud of tear gas, bend over at a 90° angle and flap your arms like a bird. You will look silly. You are knocking toxic dust off of yourself. If it looks stupid but it works, it's not stupid. Embrace that you look silly and enjoy. No longer being covered in chemical munition residue.
When flushing eyes, use water. Plain bottled water. You can also use saline, I find it to be less painful, but I also find that I have to flush for significantly longer with saline than I do with water in order to clear out my eyes. My personal preference is to flush my eyes with water and then once they are flushed out and clear, I will go back in with some saline to help rehydrate my eyes.
You can offer to help people if they are in distress, but YOU MUST GET THEIR CONSENT FIRST.
Also don't wear perfumes or lotions or body oils, and don't wear contacts.
Now I'm going to type out the recipe in the graphic below, so everybody can read it, even people using screen readers.
HOW TO MAKE WIPES FOR CHEMICAL WEAPONS:
Mix 1 gallon of warm water, nine cups of white sugar, and 2 tbsp of citric acid.
Combine the previous mixture with 21 fl oz of unscented baby shampoo.
Saturate paper towels and squeeze out most of the excess, and pack them away into Ziploc bags with about three paper towels per bag. This recipe should make about 200 to 300 packs.
Alternatively, you can take some of the solution and put it in a squirt bottle, and spray affected areas rather than wiping them, but they will have to be wiped with something afterwards in order to be most effective.
Unrefrigerated, the wipes and the solution will last about 4 days, give or take.
Refrigerated, the solution and wipes will last for about 2 weeks.
After you use them, you might be a little sticky. Sticky is better than burning. It's not a perfect system, but it works better than other alternatives in the same price bracket.
AND IF YOU HAVE A RESCUE INHALER THAT YOU NEED TO CARRY WITH YOU, KEEP IT IN AN AIRTIGHT BAG UNTIL YOU NEED IT, PARTICLES OF TEAR GAS OR MACE CAN AND WILL GET INTO THE MOUTH OF YOUR INHALER AND SHOOT DIRECTLY TO THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO GET ALBUTEROL TO HELP YOU BREATHE. IT WILL NOT HELP YOU BREATHE.
