Adamsite gas
It's a surplus military form of tear gas which is made of arsenical diphenylaminechlorarsine. It is technically a chlorine gas.
It's data sheet describes it as a canary yellow gas in high concentration, becoming colorless as it's diluted.

According to the datasheet it's hazmat designation is a 6.1 poison.
Symptoms match what is being reported.
What concerns me is that it is potentially deadly in relatively small concentrations. Depending on how it is being deployed it could lead to some extremely serious side effects.
Considering these people are mostly untrained, I'm guessing they have no idea how to use it.

Irreversible effects can be caused by a concentration of 9.7mg per cubic meter in 10 minutes of exposure.
Death can be caused by 17 mg/m3 in 30 minutes of exposure.
If they use the same tactics they have been using with cs gas

i.e. holding people in the gas, those concentrations can be exceeded many times over, leading to accelerated effects.
This gas is nasty stuff, please make sure to steer clear if you see yellowish gas coming from a canister. It can be lethal even in small doses to 1% of the pop.

Spread awareness to all who are attending the protests and stay safe out there.
Please let me know of anything new being deployed, I would be happy to do research and find out more to keep you informed.

CDC Datasheet containing the information is available here.
There is no onsite treatment other than flushing of the affected areas.

To those tagged, please do your part to make sure this reaches those who need this information. This new gas is dangerous, possibly deadly. The people who are out there protesting need as much information as possible to be effective.
Together, we #resist.

Hey guys, please spread this so it reaches the protesters.

Please bear in mind that Adamsite is highly toxic to children. Deaths and serious injury are known to occur.
If there are little ones present, please get them away ASAP.
I'm not sure about dangers in utero but err on the side of caution.
