  7. FIRST AID MEASURES


    General Advice: Poison information centers in each State capital city can provide additional assistance for scheduled poisons (13 1126).


    Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly. If irritation persists or if contact has been prolonged, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before re-use.


    Eye contact: Gently rinse eyes for 15 minutes. Consult a physician. Move individual into fresh air.


    Inhalation: Move individual into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be given by qualified personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.


    Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Consult a physician.


    Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Irritating to eyes. May cause slight skin irritation. Central nervous system effects. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. May affect the liver. May affect the kidneys. May affect the blood. May affect the bone marrow. May affect respiration. May affect fertility or cause teratogenic effects.
