Inhalation

Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Call a poison center or a doctor if you feel unwell.

Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation.

Skin contact

Rinse skin with water/shower. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

Symptoms: Irritation.

Eye contact

Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

Symptoms: Eye irritation.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth out with water. Drink plenty of water. Do not give an unconscious person anything to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Vomiting: prevent asphyxia/aspiration pneumonia. Call a doctor.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.
