What Is Tear Gas?
Tear gas comes in the form of either a spray or grenade and is normally used to disperse or deter unruly crowds. It works by irritating the mucous membranes found in the eyes, nose, mouth, and lungs. Tear gas gets its name because it stimulates the eye’s lacrimal glands to produce tears. More than just stimulate tears, and depending on how sensitive the individual is––once the dreaded tear gas is inhaled it can cause the following reactions:
• Severe eye pain
• Respiratory pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Skin reactions and irritation
• Temporary blindness
• In severe cases, chronic skin reactions and chemical burns to your skin
