In the military you get to enjoy going to the CS (gas chamber) for a fun experience in actually being  gassed. It causes you to cry, eyes to sting and pretty much makes you wonder why you joined in the first place. Once “allowed” to don your mask there is a relief (and not of your bowels) almost instantly. However, you better not sneeze or you’ll cause a leak! Now what if this happened in war and not training?

“Tear gas works by irritating mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, mouth and lungs. It causes crying, sneezing, coughing, difficulty breathing, pain in the eyes, and temporary blindness…it can also cause you to puke.” – Dr. Knowitall
