I am no expert but this feels like a fun and useful bookmark:

https://phr.org/our-work/resources/preparing-for-protecting-against-and-treating-tear-gas-and-other-chemical-irritant-exposure-a-protesters-guide/

Something I learned / remembered from reading that:

Though tear gas was classified as a chemical weapon in 1993
and banned from use in international warfare, law enforcement
officers are still allowed to use it on civilians in the United States.

That’s fun.

It’s not a war crime if you’re not at war!

Rinse your body as soon as you get to a location with a shower.

Lesson 2. DO NOT USE WATER to clean off tear gas.

So, how to clean it off?

  Probably use dawn soup first, then wash with very cold water to prevent your pores from opening further?
