'Maalox'-and-water solution used as anti-tear gas remedy by protesters
A flier and web-page making its way around Facebook and other social media recommends a solution of Maalox or other liquid antacids as an antidote to the eye pain, blindness, and respiratory distress related to tear gas attacks. The flier, which we found via "OccupyMARINES" states that it is distributed by "United We Rise", an organization that supports, but is not directly affiliated with "Occupy Wall Street".
