If on skin, rinse well with water.
First aid is not normally required. However, it is
recommended that exposed areas be cleaned by washing
with soap and water.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
In case of eye contact
:
Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
Remove contact lenses.
Protect unharmed eye.
If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
If swallowed

Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Most important symptoms
and effects, both acute and
delayed
:
Acute aspiration of large amounts of oil-laden material may
produce a serious aspiration pneumonia. Patients who
aspirate these oils should be followed for the development of
long-term sequelae. Repeated aspiration of small quantities
of mineral oil can produce chronic inflammation of the lungs
(i.e. lipoid pneumonia) that may progress to pulmonary
fibrosis. Symptoms are often subtle and radiological changes
appear worse than clinical abnormalities. Occasionally,
persistent cough, irritation of the upper respiratory tract,
shortness of breath with exertion, fever, and bloody sputum
occur. Inhalation exposure to oil mists below current
workplace exposure limits is unlikely to cause pulmonary
abnormalities.
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through
breathing, swallowing, and/or passage of the material through
the skin may include:
stomach or intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
irritation (nose, throat, airways)
Headache
Dizziness
May cause an allergic skin reaction.
Notes to physician
:
No hazards which require special first aid measures.
