First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with a respiratory medical device.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately.
Symptoms: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation
