CS gas is a bitch and 3/4. It sticks to everything. OC isn’t much better. You can be prepared for both with some common sense and gear. 3M makes an Organic Vapor P100 cartridge that will work in a pinch. (3M 60921) You are going to feel it though. If you are using a half-face respirator you need sealed goggles but it’s still going to burn your skin. You WILL be exposed. It fucking sticks to everything so don’t just jump in a car and drive away or everyone in the car will be snot monsters from mucus world looking like a bukkake film finale. Water, baby shampoo, saline eye wash, and waterproof bags. Best to wear an easily removable outer shell of rainproof material if you think you will be exposed and have some heavy mill nitrile gloves. Remove the shell and place it in the bag and seal it after exposure. Don’t take the mask off even if it’s filling up with snot and spit until you are clear and for fucks sake dont touch the people who come to help you especially if they are not in protective gear. CS sticks to everything, OC is made to stick to everything, and often has UV dye in it.
Good luck, dont panic you won’t die…yet.



I wrote out a long response but it sounded condescending and I dont mean it that way. So I’ll just say this…home renovation can get pricy super fast. A full gut of a bathroom can cost $8-$20k depending on the size. A closet is much cheaper if it’s just a little room or a small push-back in the wall. But a walk in even a small space with cabnits can start to run up.
