=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

Eyes: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH W/ PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MIN, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS. GET MEDICAL
    AID. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN W/ PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER FOR
    AT LEAST  15 MIN WHILE REMOVING CONTAM CLOTHING & SHOES. GET
    MEDICAL AID IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS. INGESTION: IF
    VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS & ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK OR WATER.
    NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY  MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL
    AID IMMEDIATELY. INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR
    IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT BREATHING GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESP. IF BREATHING IS
