More than a thousand people reported lasting health effects after being exposed to teargas during protests in Portland, Oregon, last summer, according to a newly published scientific study.
Nearly 900 people reported abnormal menstrual cycles, including intense cramping and increased bleeding, that began or persisted days after their initial exposure to the teargas. Hundreds of others complained of other negative health impacts, including severe headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and mental health concerns.
The new research, based on an online survey of more than 2,200 people, challenges claims that the health consequences of being teargassed are minor and temporary, said Dr Britta Torgrimson-Ojerio, a researcher at Kaiser Permanente Northwest and the lead author of the study.
It is also the first published, peer-reviewed study to confirm a link between teargas and abnormal menstruation, a connection that was widely discussed by American protesters on social media and in news reports last year.
Participants in racial justice protests against police violence last summer in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Rochester and other cities told media outlets that their exposure to teargas had been followed by unexpected bleeding, unusually painful cramps, and other disruptions of their typical menstrual cycles.
Last July, Oregon Public Broadcast interviewed 26 protesters, ages 17 to 43, who said that exposure to teargas had affected their periods. Some described large blood clots, others “cramps that felt like sharp rocks”.
“We’re not paranoid. This isn’t a coincidence. Something’s going on,” one 29-year-old protester told Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Straight to comments , first thought as well. Second thought was , iinnant that juss too effin’ bad.
It is a poison gas of sorts, ie it’s noxious, harmful to inhale, makes you incapable of normal breathing, it is meant to have a negative physical effect. So you expect no aftereffects? Leaving even within an hour, tear gas is not “two breaths” out of your system.
This was mostly reported by the men so we have that side effect to consider as well.
Morning chuckle. We are such FReebastards on occasion.
“And that’s just the dudes!”

Babylon Bee.
I’ll bet most of the victims are MALE.
the men finally figured out they are NOT supposed to get a period?
Hmmmmm - people die or suffer other severe reactions after a Jab and “they” say there’s no evidence it was connected - but a bunch of Karens suffer a reaction after tear gas and it’s a slam dunk...
“And those are just the dudes.”
That caught me off-guard.😂
Wonder how many of them sit to pee.
