remove to fresh air
Symptoms: nose or throat irritation
No treatment necessary.
Use eye wash fountain or fresh water to cleanse eye. If irritation persists for more than 30 minutes, seek medical attention.
Symptoms: irritation
Swallowing small quantities (one teaspoon) will cause no harm to healthy adults. If larger amounts are swallowed, give two glasses of water to drink and seek medical attention.

If irritation persists for more than 30 minutes, seek medical attention (for eye contact). If larger amounts are swallowed, seek medical attention (for ingestion).
Medical Treatment
Observation only is required for adult ingestion of less than 6 grams of Optibor. For ingestion in excess of 6 grams, maintain adequate kidney function and force fluids. Gastric lavage is recommended for symptomatic patients only. Haemodialysis should be reserved for massive acute ingestion or patients with renal failure.
