The most common tear gas effects are watery eyes, blurred vision and trouble breathing. Depending on the level of exposure, it can also result in chemical burns on your skin as well as respiratory problems. Since it clings to the skin and clothing, symptoms of tear gas exposure can last for hours or even days.

Unfortunately, yes, tear gas is harmful to your health. Since it irritates the eyes, it can lead to temporary or even permanent blindness in some cases. Other tear gas symptoms include lung irritation, asthma attacks or allergies, even if you are not prone to those conditions. Although it is considered non-lethal, it can cause death in very rare cases.
