======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:SKIN: WASH AREA W/SOAP & WATER. EYES: FLUSH W/LARGE AMOUNTS
OF WATER. INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING. KEEP PERSON WARM &
QUIET. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. ADMINISTER OXYGEN. IF
BREATHING HAS S TOPPED GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. KEEP PERSON
WARM & QUIET. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
