EYE CONTACT: Exposed eyes should be immediately flushed with copious amounts of water using a steady stream for a
several minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling or tearing persist, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, get immediate medical attention by calling an emergency room or poison control center. Do not
make the person vomit. If medical advice cannot be obtained, then take the person and product to the nearest medical
emergency center or hospital. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs.
Never give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious or drowsy.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: There is no specific antidote. The petroleum oil and other ingredients in this product are unlikely to
produce systemic symptoms following accidental ingestion. Upon ingestion, there is a slight risk of aspiration in the lungs
which can lead to pneumonitis and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Do not induce vomiting. If aspiration is suspected the
patient should be observed for sign of lung injury. Treatment should be directed at the control of symptoms and clinical
conditions. Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection requires prompt surgical debridement. There may be no signs of injury or
pain initially. Failure to provide immediate treatment may result in extensive necrosis.
