SNAKE-OIL / SNAKE-OIL CLASSIC
Date of issue: 2020-02-24, p. 3 of 9
immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Seek immediate
medical attention.
In case of skin contact Wash with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a poison center or
doctor if irritation develops or persists. Take off contaminated clothing and
wash it before reuse.
In case of eye contact Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a
physician.
If swallowed Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2.2) and/or in section 11
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the
clinical condition of the patient. Any material aspirated during vomiting may cause lung injury. Therefore, emesis
should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. If it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach
contents, this should be done by means least likely to cause aspiration (such as: Gastric lavage after endotracheal
intubation).
SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray extinguishing media. Water or foam may cause frothing of
materials heated above 100 C / 212 F. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use cause when applying carbon dioxide
in confined spaces.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Isolate from oxidizers, extreme heat, sparks, and open flame. Closed containers may explode if exposed to extreme
heat. Applying to hot surfaces requires special precautions.
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Water spray may be ineffective on fire but can protect fire-fighters & cool closed containers. Use fog nozzles if water is
used. Do not enter confined fire-space without full bunker gear. (Helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves &
rubber boots).
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
The proper personal protective equipment for incidental releases (such as: 1 Liter of the product released in a
well-ventilated area), use impermeable gloves, they should be Level B: triple-gloves (rubber gloves and nitrile gloves
over latex gloves), chemical resistant suit and boots, hard-hat, and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus specific for
the material handled, goggles, face shield, and appropriate body protection. In the event of a large release, use
impermeable gloves, specific for the material handled, chemically resistant suit and boots, and hard hat.
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus or respirator may be required where engineering controls are not adequate or
conditions for potential exposure exist. When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved based on
actual or potential airborne concentrations in accordance with latest OSHA and/or ANSI recommendations.
Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by trained personnel using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective
equipment should be used. In case of a spill, clear the affected area, protect people, and respond with trained
personnel. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area).
