Ingestion Fatal if swallowed. This product causes reversible cholinesterase inhibition.
Repeated overexposure may cause more severe cholinesterase inhibition with
more pronounced signs and symptoms. May lead to rapid onset of nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, pinpoint pupils, blurred vision, profuse
sweating, temporary paralysis, respiratory depression, convulsions.
Inhalation May be fatal or harmful if inhaled. May produce symptoms similar to those from
ingestion.
Chronic or Delayed This product contains ingredients that are considered to be probable or
Long-Term suspected human carcinogens (see Section 11 - Chronic).
Medical Conditions Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chronic respiratory problems such
Aggravated by Exposure as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin
disease.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15
minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin In case of contact, immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at least
15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes
while washing. Clean contaminated clothing and shoes before re-use or discard
if they cannot be thoroughly cleaned.
Ingestion If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink and induce
vomiting by touching back of throat with a finger. Do not induce vomiting or give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention.
Do not leave victim unattended. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. To prevent
aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim on side with head lower than waist. If
vomiting occurs and the victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the
chemical.
Inhalation Remove victim from immediate source of exposure and assure that the victim is
breathing. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen, if available. If victim is not
breathing, administer CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation). Seek medical
attention.
Note to Physician All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in
the patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to
materials other than this product may have occurred.
This product contains an oxime carbamate insecticide, which is a cholinesterase
inhibitor.
Overexposure to this substance may cause toxic signs and symptoms due to
stimulation of the cholinergic nervous system. These effects of overexposure are
spontaneously and rapidly reversible.
Specific treatment consists of parenteral atropine sulfate. Improve tissue
oxygenation as much as possible before administering atropine to minimize the
risk of ventricular fibrillation. Mild cases may be given 1 to 2 mg intramuscularly
every 10 minutes until full atropinization has been achieved and repeated
thereafter whenever symptoms reappear.

MSDS Number: 208
TEMIK庐 BRAND 15G (GRIT) ALDICARB PESTICIDE MSDS Version 1.1
Severe cases should be given 2 to 4 mg intravenously every 10 minutes until
fully atropinized, then intramuscularly every 30 to 60 minutes as needed to
maintain the effect for at least 12 hours. Dosages for children should be
appropriately reduced. Complete recovery from overexposure is to be expected
within 24 hours.
To aid in confirmation of a diagnosis, urine samples should be obtained within 24
hours of exposure and immediately frozen.
Call Aventis at 1-800-334-7577 before sending samples. Analyses will be
arranged by Aventis.
Persons regularly exposed in manufacturing and handling this product should
have a preexposure and periodic red blood cell cholinesterase level checks.
Narcotics and other sedatives should not be used. Further, drugs like 2-PAM
(pyridine-2-aldoxime methiodide) are NOT recommended unless
organophosphate intoxication is also suspected.
