control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
Skin contact
Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Eye contact
Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove contact lens, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a
poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
