Health Hazard There are no specific signs of overexposure to flumethrin.
Information Symptoms of toxicity after ingestion are likely to be the result of
solvent effects, eg possible lung damage. The concentrate is
dangerous. Nerve ending excitation manifested as burning and
tingling sensations may be experienced after skin and mucous
membrane contact. This excitation is transient.
Solvent naphtha, heavy aromatic: Inhalation of high
concentrations leads to mucous membrane irritation and
anaesthesia. Frequent or persistent skin contact can lead to
irritation and contact dermatitis. Aspiration of even small amounts
is associated with the danger of severe lung damage with a
possibly fatal outcome (chemical pneumonia).
