take him to an area with fresh air. Ensure use of protection measures for rescue
personnel. Carbon dioxide has a suffocating effect. Resuscitate persons with
respiratory standstill. Call emergency doctor immediately.

frostbite. Thaw affected spot with cold water and apply sterile bandage to it. Go
to see a doctor immediately.
In case of swallowing: Not probable.
In case of eye contact: Flush eyes with running water (continuing for up to 15
minutes) and get immediate medical attention.
Remarks for the doctor: Treat symptomatically. In case of local effects of carbon
dioxide snow, dry treatment as in the case of frostbite.
Frozen tissues should be flooded or soaked with tepid water (105°-115°F; 41°-
46°C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Cryogenic burns which result in blistering
or deeper tissue freezing should be seen promptly by a physician.
