======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALE: VAPORS-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NEEDED, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION-PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH OR OXYGEN. CALL
PHYSICIAN. EYE: FLUSH EYES W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINS & CALL
PHYSICIAN. SKIN: RE MOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & SHOES. WASH
W/PLENTY OF SOAP/WATER FOR 15 MIN. INGEST: GIVE 1 OR 2 GLASSES OF
