In chemistry, the term for the class of chemicals that includes MACE and tear gas is lachrymator. It is often listed as a hazard for materials that cause tearing and spasms of the eyelids. I got hit with the vapor of phenyl isocyanate once when a safety system failed, and my tears flowed like a river, and my eyes couldn't stay open for more than about a few milliseconds! It was the most unusual experience - I was fine, it was literally just my eyes.

Makes my eyes water just reading that. Welcome.
There used to be a beautiful in the old Roman Funeral Liturgy
called "Lacrimosa" - also it has disappeared. To be lamented
- centuries of beauty disappeared in a single half generation.

Did your nose run too? Just want to know whether the tears and the runny nose are a package deal or do they come from different sources.

Don't know the science of the thing, but wanted to be
modest so I omitted the nasal references. Yet you got
me, the drip, drip ended up there.
