Eye Contact: Immediately flush with water, remove any contact lenses, continue flushing with water for at least 15 minutes, then get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Irritation may result. Immediately wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes.
Inhalation: If user experiences breathing difficulty, move to air free of vapors. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration until medical assistance can be rendered.
Ingestion: Call your local poison control center, hospital emergency room, or physician immediately for instructions to induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Notes to Physician: Poison. This product contains methanol and methylene chloride. Methanol is metabolized to formaldehyde and formic acid. These metabolites may cause metabolic acidosis, visual disturbances, and blindness. Since metabolism is required for these toxic symptoms, their onset may be delayed from 6 to 30 hours following ingestion. Ethanol competes for the same metabolic pathway and has been used as an antidote. Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis. Adrenalin should never be given to a person overexposed to methylene chloride. Call your local poison control center for further instructions.
