skin irritation in some individuals. May be fatal
if swallowed. May cause severe
gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,
vomiting, and possible burns.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INGESTION: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for
treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to
swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a
poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
SKIN CONTACT: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately
with plenty of water for 15 鈥? 20 minutes. Call a poison
control center or doctor for treatment advice.
EYE CONTACT: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-
20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first
5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control
center or doctor for treatment advice.
INHALATION: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911
or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably
by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control center
or doctor for treatment advice.
HOT LINE NUMBER: Have the product container or label with you when
calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. You may
contact INFOTRAC 1-800-535-5053 for emergency treatment information.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Early signs of intoxication include dilation of pupils,
muscular incoordination, and muscular tremors. Toxicity following accidental
ingestion of Abacide 2 can be minimized by early administration of chemical
absorbents (e.g., activated charcoal). If toxicity from exposure has
progressed to cause severe vomiting, the extent of resultant fluid and
electrolyte imbalance should be gauged. Appropriate supportive parental
fluid replacement therapy should be given, along with other required
supportive measures (such as maintenance of blood pressure levels and
proper respiratory functionality) as indicated by clinical signs, symptoms, and
measurements. In severe cases, observations should continue for at least
several days until clinical condition is stable and normal. Since abamectin is
believed to enhance GABA activity in animals, it is probably wise to avoid
drugs that enhance GABA activity (barbiturates, benzodiazepines, valproic
acid) in patients with potentially toxic abamectin exposure.
