Ok so there’s a conspiracy theory going around that this woman was faking her injury with an onion.

This is likely false. Onions are a folk remedy for pepper spray.

The theory, which has some merit, is that since onions make you cry, it helps flush the irritants from your eyes with natural tears.
However, this is not recommended as a treatment for pepper spray and is ultimately not very effective.
Pepper spray, tear gas, mace, CN, HC, and other agents are best removed with a flush of water or, if you have the proper mixture, saline. Nothing else.
We do not do chemistry in our eyeballs. We are not putting chemicals in our eyes. We are not putting produce in our eyes. We are removing the chemicals with safe, neutral water.

I know you will try to be clever by suggesting milk or LAW or apple cider vinegar but you are wrong
Once again, we are not trying to bind anything, particularly things our patients may be allergic to, to capsaicin molecules we cannot be certain are present in the irritant.
There are at least half a dozen different chemical irritants in common use and unless the cop who sprayed you also gave you the MSDS, you flush with water.

And if they did give you the MSDS, it would tell you to flush with water.
When you are in a chemistry lab, there is no milk flush station. There is no vinegar flush station. They do not keep a supply of fresh onions.

There is a water flush station because what we flush our eyes with is water.

Just a taste of the absolute ignorance coming out of this failures mouth. He has had to withdraw from precious races because of his proven lack of ethics. A proven criminal, and here he is likely to lead America baring a miracle. Americans had best wake up.


For this to have happened in the US with the blessing of the Senate means the entire system has been compromised. McConnell has to say something because he knows Trump is on track to get a 2nd term. Otherwise he would have stayed silent and not risk the backlash he is going

To get with the base in Ga. He knows his antics are likely going to cost them the Senate. But at this point the establishment is all in to get rid of Trump. That is in spite of the fact Trump has done more for the party then everyone of the establishment Republicans combined.

He has increased the tent of the party and made significant inroads in breaking the Dems stranglehold on the blacks. His Latino support was greater the. Any Republican before him. He was on the way of accomplishing what no one ever thought possible, peace in the Mideast.

He brought record employment and growth to the US before they ushered in the virus scam, and even with that he beat them developing a vaccine in record time, and reestablishing the growth rate. Except the governors are hell bent on keeping their economies closed and
