No tear gas for people suffering without gas! We first heard this meaningful saying during a university student struggle. That day they clashed with the police near the Carlton residence of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa.
"He came to this house defeated in 2015. Then our parents came here and cried not to go back home. Today we came here to tell him not to come back home. Those who came to tell us that were beaten. Shame! Gentlemen, shame!"
Another university student, who was attacked by tear gas, shouted in pain.
It was not only the students who were involved in the struggle who were affected by the tear gas attack. Some of the tear gas policemen were also stunned and searched for water to wash their eyes.
On this occasion, the students who participated in the protest handed over the water bottles in their possession to the police officers out of respect for humanity.
The police tried to chase tear gas attacks. They launch such attacks because of pressure from above because there is nothing else to do.
"What can we do? We are doing this because of orders from above. We know that the demands of these boys and girls are justified. We have the same problems as the people who are struggling in this country. ! "
An officer in the tear gas brigade said so as not to look around and hear the big bosses.
"Tear gas attacks during protests are not something that has been active since yesterday. This has been the worst thing since World War II. Had been.
However, the World Health Organization (WHO) later intervened and enacted regulations. Today we do not use chemicals as harsh as they used to. "
This was stated by Dr. Kapila Piyasena, Community Health Specialist. He was a talented doctor who also worked at the Colombo Eye Hospital for some time.
According to him, almost everyone who was the victim of the tear gas attack had little or no effect that day. But now that risk has been exacerbated by the tear gas attack on the Inter-University Student Federation (IUSF) last Thursday.
This new tear gas grinder is called N500-CS Gas Hand Frend.
It's not the same as a tear gas canister fired from a distance. A grenade-like device that can be thrown from nearby. It can be subtly released while sitting among the strugglers.
"The most prosecutors who have been thrown into the face of the police before the police have been thrown back to the police. But it is not possible to hold the gas to bear the fresh grand to three parts. This is why we need to be more careful than we said earlier.
This can cause coughing, dizziness, vomiting and shortness of breath as well as poor eyesight.
Tear gas increases the secretion of tears in our eyes. It increases unbearably at once with inflammation. These symptoms appear within 20 seconds to 1 minute. This condition persists for a long time. The only immediate remedy is to rinse your eyes with clean water. Even better is to wash with soap. But we must not forget that some of the victims of the tear gas attack will have many complications afterwards. Some people develop glaucoma, a condition in which the pressure in the eye increases, especially after being attacked. As a result, eyesight decreases. We have seen many patients with this condition from time to time. And there are those who are blind. " In addition, tear gas can cause shortness of breath. Specialist Dr. Kapila Jayasena says that it especially affects patients suffering from lung related ailments. "Tear gas attacks are not suitable for patients with asthma. They have difficulty breathing and may even lose their lives. How to stay in pain. There is a cough. It is not appropriate to think lightly about this situation. Therefore, such people should stay away from such places as much as possible. We have seen plenty of patients who have been hospitalized with an exacerbation of any condition that makes it difficult to breathe. Just like that dies. Young children in particular should be kept away from such places immediately. They should not be detained in areas where tear gas attacks are suspected. " In addition, our specialist doctor introduces skin disease as another disease caused by exposure to tear gas. "Many people who have been exposed to tear gas have this condition.
Thus, initially the skin starts to itch excessively. People with skin conditions not only experience this condition more often, but can also get injured. The onset of symptoms is usually within 20 minutes to half an hour after the onset of tear gas. If it exceeds that, you should be hospitalized immediately. Similarly, washing the face, mouth and hands with these tear gases does not end there. It also depends on the tights. So even those clothes need to be removed quickly. We know that police officers do their duty by using a tear gas resistant mask because they have to obey orders from above. But they do not know that this harshness in uniform depends a lot of time. It's really unhealthy for their body. In addition, some people who have been exposed to tear gas can have a mental breakdown due to respiratory problems. Mental complications occur. In fact, it's better to stay away from such places. " You will now realize that there are many pathogens that we do not know about in tear gas or this liquid weapon used to repel protesters. But that should not stop the protest process. What is needed is to be aware and face it.
