On an unprotected soldier, tear gas will first cause the skin to feel like it is burning, the soldiers nose will run continuously, the eyes will burn and tear up and vision will become blurred. Some soldiers become nauseated and/or vomit. After exposure take care not to run if your vision has been affected unless someone is with you to help you avoid running into something. The best thing to do after exposure is to face into the wind as this will disperse the gas quickly, avoid touching the exposed areas so that you will not spread the chemical around and rub it into your pores. Flush the affected area with water and take a lukewarm shower as soon as you are able to. When you get a chance, hang your clothes up in a well ventilated area to disperse the gas. The best treatments are air, cold water and time.
