INGESTION: Immediate medical attention is required. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person. To avoid aspiration should vomiting occur, have the person lean forward. If victim is
conscious, give 2-4 glasses of water. Never induce vomiting unless specifically directed by qualified medical
personnel.
SKIN: Wash off with soap and water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Get medical
attention if irritation or symptoms develop. Flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes until no
evidence of chemical remains.
INHALATION: Get medical attention if irritation or symptoms develop. If not breathing, remove to fresh air and
begin artificial respiration using a barrier device. Because of chemical properties, do not use mouth-to-mouth

attention if irritation persists.
