First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
Symptoms: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water.
Symptoms: May cause skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, drying, defatting and cracking of the skin.
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses, if worn.
Symptoms: May cause eye irritation. Symptoms may include discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tear production, with possible redness and swelling.
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Symptoms: May be harmful if swallowed. May cause stomach distress, nausea or vomiting. If sufficient quantities are ingested, Saxitoxin Dihydrochloride causes paresthesia (numbness), paralysis, respiratory arrest.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician if irritation develops and persists (skin). If irritation persists, get medical attention (eyes). Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell (inhalation/ingestion).

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Do not swallow. Handle and open container with care. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Keep container tightly closed. Store in the dark in a refrigerator (+4°C / 39.2°F). Solutions are also stable when stored in a reliable freezer, one that does not undergo a periodic freeze-thaw cycle (preferably < -20°C / -4°F).
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking.
