Did a crime occur in your home, facility, or place of business? Was tear gas or bear spray used on the crime scene?
As you know, tear gas & bear spray is noxious. It can irritate skin, eyes, open wounds, and airways. Some of the immediate signs of exposure to tear gas & bear spray are irritation to the eyes such as: burning, tearing, and redness. This can also occur to the nose that can cause runny nose, burning, and swelling, to the mouth such as burning that can lead to difficulty swallowing and drooling, to the lungs which can cause chest tightness, coughing, chocking, and wheezing. It can cause rashes and burns on the skin. Other immediate symptoms would be nausea and vomiting.
Tear gas & bear spray will leave behind a residue that can continue to irritate until it is properly cleaned. Long-term exposure can lead to health effects such as eye scarring, glaucoma, and cataracts along with potential breathing problems such as asthma. Rapid Response can properly clean it for you.
