A photojournalist, in a ballistic helmet and gasmask, stands next to a lamppost to avoid being hit by teargas cannisters. Teargas works in contact with moisture, so as it goes into your nostrils, eyes or mouth is starts burning. But also as you sweat it burns. Even having a shower afterwards is painful. Several people were immobilised and screaming with it, as well as a couple of people who'd passed out, overcome by it. There have been cases of babies and elderly people being killed by it.
