Really want to emphasize this. Don't use shit like LAW or milk in your eyes. If you don't know what LAW is, great, don't bother. I've worked in chemistry labs and production floors most of my adult life, including with lachrymators and irritants. Use water. Just water. That's it.

![Riot Control Agent Contamination
Riot control agents (RCAs) lachrymators like tear gas and pepper spray.
They are designed to temporarily incapacitate protesters.
42 Riot Control Agent Contamination
Signs and Symptoms
• Red, itching, tearing, or burning eyes
• Increased mucous production
• Inability to open eyes
• Burning skin
• Coughing and difficulty breathing
• Gagging and vomiting
• Asphyxiation or pulmonary edema (from tear gas in enclosed spaces)
Treatment
two drawings
(a) Opening a Patient’s Eye (b) Decontamination
Figure 12: RCA Treatment
• Remove the patient from the RCA
• Remove their contaminated clothing, especially from the face
• If their eyes are effected, remove their contact lenses
• Keep them from touching the affected body parts
• Encourage coughing and sneezing
• Flush the affected body part with water or saline:
– If a body part other than the eyes is covered with CR gas, brush it
away and avoid water
– Flush the eyes from a distance of 2–3cm for several minutes (fig. 12b)
• Do not use LAW, baby shampoo, milk, vinegar, citrus, oil, hydrogen
peroxide, or lidocaine to treat RCA
• Use refrigerant spray on skin after flushing
[page] 43
• Consider use of an inhaler (salbutamol)
• If the patient removed clothing or is wet, consider treating for hypothermia
• Clean their contact lenses if they plan on putting them back in](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2wyqv44lm72vasmddeqjgy72/bafkreicryp7e5kmkhax6dfypx64gfoge4xtwuxhwv24tdqf5e754uuiuxy@jpeg)

This is where the AI push into schools feels quite parallel to all other reforms of past decades:
1️⃣ introduce new policy/system/tool without evidence
2️⃣ then claim need for data/evidence to support success
3️⃣ THEN blame teachers/schools if it isn't successful
(#3 is already happening, btw)
