I have 2 emts in my group who were trained by uncle Sam for the sandbox and they swear by it

The Internet says water and down soap

But that's just the Internet

Internet says a lot of things, yeah.

So it's probs horseshit

Look, there is no magic solution to pepper spray. Nothing neutralizes it, and any relief is temporary. You have to flush it out and let it run its course. Clean water or saline solution is generally what works best, adding stuff to it doesn't make it work better.

Milk is arguable, I've heard different stuff. But putting milk in your eyes is a good way to get an infection.

My emt buddy says don't mix the water and baby shampoo until time to use it to maintain sterility

If you get sprayed, don't rub your eyes or skin or you will just make it worse. Breath evenly and don't panic. Wash out your eyes, and especially rinse out your mouth if you get it in there. So long as you aren't sensitive or allergic to the irritants, it passes pretty quickly so long as you don't make it worse. I am saying this as someone who has been sprayed multiple times.

If any of you saw the "preparing for pepperspray" post that got passed around for Auburn and Nola detailing the gear to help mitigate pepper spray and what to do if you are sprayed, as well as what to watch out for, that was me who wrote it.

I'm familiar with the stuff, and have worked around it.

The little sprays you normally see aren't typically that bad. As long as you don't take it straight to the eyes it normally passes in about 20 minutes or so if you don't make it worse. The danger comes from the concentrated stuff in the big fire extinguisher looking canisters, and I hate to say it but if you get directly sprayed by one of those you are going to be out of the fight for about an hour because you will be in a world of suck.

YHeah those.

Fuck those things.

i'm bringing one

Be mindful of which way the wind is blowing.

Keep an eye out for them in the crowd, you do not want to be sprayed by one. It is not fun.

Up to you, wouldn't hurt to have some on our side tbh.

Just use saline

I've been saying this for fucking months

I asked an actual doctor who holds our beliefs and that's what he says to use

DRW is bringing a ton of extinguishers.

And by a ton I mean a dozen or so

Saline in spray bottles

I have saline in a 32oz bottle

Daen n water solution for skin,

That's how i prefer to do it,

Clean small towels, water, i mean, not rubbing it in helps, but its instinct to rub stuff, people cant help it,

If they have a breathing problem however it could be a bogger problem, some people's airways can get mpre irritated than usual (often with breathing diseases like copd, asthma) so it becomes more of a situation,

oh, well i wasn't here for months. only about 3 weeks. i'll look into it

If you insist on getting there early, at least try and blend in with the protestors and get some good intel. Just take a starbucks cup and they will think you're with them.
