People on twitter have talked about it before but please don’t listen to what random people online say about how to handle teargas, read what the CDC says about how to handle exposure

The riot medicine PDF going around is really good from what I can tell- all their info directly mirrors this CDC advice, although there’s a lot more talking about specifics when treating people in a riot/protest/street setting.

It also very specifically addresses a number of myths regarding teargas treatments in a way I think might be better than the CDC which doesn’t really spend any of time on them. In activist circles, there’s a lot of beliefs that get passed around and I think it’s good to specifically address them.

Here’s a link:

Reblogging from myself in the hopes of showing up in the notes. Forgot about the weird link thing Tumblr is doing.
