   VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA :



  Effects of acute overexposure for Methyl Salicylate :



  Eyes: May cause temporary eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely .

  Skin : Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation.

  Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is moderate . The oral LD50 for rats is approximately 1500 mg/kg .

  Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be nausea and/or vomiting . Even though the acute oral

  toxicity for rats is low, people have ingested lethal doses . Ingestion may also cause GI irritation, ringing

  in the ears, acid-base imbalance and possible kidney damage .               '

  Inhalation: A single prolonged (hours) excessive inhalation exposure may cause adverse effects.

  Excessive exposure nay cause lung injury.

  Systemic and other: Repeated excessive exposure may cause nausea, vomiting, metabolic disturbances

  and possibly kidney damage . Did not cause cancer in long-term animal studies . Has caused birth

  defects in laboratory animals only at doses toxic to the mother . High dietary levels of methyl salicylate

  have reduced the viability of young in a 3-generation reproduction study .



  Emergency First Aid Procedures :

  Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician.                                ..

  Skin : Remove any contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Wash skin thoroughly . Seek

  medical attention if irritation or burns develop .

  Eyes: Flush eyes immediately with large amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes.

  Ingestion: NEVER give anything by mouth to an unconscious person . If swallowed, DO NOT

  INDUCE VOMITING, If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear . SEEK MEDICAL

  ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY .



  VII . PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE :



  Spills : Spills should be contained, collected into absorbent material and disposed of in accordance with

  all applicable federal, state and local regulations,

  Handling and Storage : Store at moderate room temperature (50-110 ° F) . Cooler temperatures prolong

  shelf-life. Wash thoroughly after handling . Read label carefully and follow directions .



  VIII . CONTROL MEASURES :



  Respiratory Protection: None required with normal use .               Ventilation: No special requirements .

  Protective Gloves : Not required .                                    Eye Protection : Preferred.
