And a transgender man, Matthew, told KUOW he had his first period in three years after getting gassed at multiple protests he attended.<\/p>\n<p>Medical experts raised red flags to the station, warning since the chemicals commonly used by police departments in the United States, known as CS gas, were originally designed for war, there has not been enough studies to show its impact on women.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lora Shahine, a local fertility doctor, told NPR the \u201cextremely stressful\u201d nature of the world during the pandemic, and recent civil unrest, could disrupt periods. But she also voice concern over the lack of information regarding long-term impacts of tear gas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in a unique situation where people who might be protesting on a really regular basis might be exposed to [tear gas] more than we\u2019ve ever seen before,\u201d Shahine said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEspecially in the United States, chemicals are considered safe until proven not safe,\u201d she said. \u201cWe should really rethink these chemicals because we haven\u2019t studied them in humans. So how do we know that they\u2019re safe?\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/09\/05\/seattle-protesters-exposed-to-tear-gas-have-unusual-menstrual-cycles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Unusual menstrual cycles reported after tear gas deployment at Seattle protests&#8221; September 5, 2020 | 9:55pm Enlarge Image Protesters disperse as tear gas, pepper spray and flash-bang devices are deployed by police during a June protest in Seattle.
