Protesters in Greece found that mixing a 50 percent solution of liquid antacid [eg Maalox] and water in spray bottles produces a soothing mist that cools the burning associated with tear gas and pepper spray.Protesters are instructed by the flier, “When exposed spray your eyes and mouth, then swallow.” The document cites AFP journalists, a study by the University of California at San Francisco, and Wikipedia as sources for information on antacids and tear gas relief.
The flier recommends particle filters and dust masks for keeping tear gas out of the nose and mouth and safety goggles to protect the eyes. It also urges nonviolent protest, saying, “Peaceful protest is the only way to be taken seriously and to be truly heard.”
