SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of product
remains. Get medical attention if pain or irritation persists.
SKIN: Rinse affected area with plenty of water until no evidence of product remains. Get medical attention if irritation
persists.
INGESTION: Treat symptomatically and supportively. Maintain airway and respiration. If vomiting occurs, keep head
below hips to prevent aspiration. Dilution by rinsing the mouth and giving water or milk to drink is generally
recommended. If unconscious, the victim should not be given anything to drink. Contact physician or local poison control
center.
