4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Swallowing
Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by
the poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation
Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison
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.
