_________________________________

SENSITIZATION: EXPOSURE OF SKIN TO A SENSITIZING AGENT TENDS TO RESULT

IN RESPONSES SUCH AS HIVES OR EXZEMA. INHALATION MAY PRODUCE WHEEZING,

SHORTNESS OF BREATH, ASTHMA, REQUIRING IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

CASES OF RESPIRATORY SENSITIZATION HAVE BEEN OBSERVED WITH SOME DYES

AND CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID INHALATION.

SHOULD AN INDIVIDUAL BECOME SENSITIZED A DOCTOR SHOULD BE CONSULTED

AND ALL CONTACT WITH THIS DYE MUST CEASE IMMEDIATELY.

THE TOXICOLOGICAL DATA IS BASED ON THE KNOWN PROPERTIES OF THE

COMPONENTS.

_________________________________

Swallowed : WASH OUT MOUTH WITH WATER. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.

            SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.

Eye . . . : RINSE IMMEDIATELY WITH COOL, CLEAN RUNNING WATER

            FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.

Skin . . : CLEAN CONTAMINATED AREAS WITH SOAP AND PLENTY OF

            RUNNING WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. SEEK

            MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Inhaled . : REMOVE PATIENT TO FRESH AIR, REST. IF SYMPTOMS OF

            ASTHMA OR BREATHING DIFFICULTIES OCCUR, SEEK

            MEDICAL ATTENTION. ASSIST BREATHING (OXY-VIVA

            EQUIP) UNTIL HELP ARRIVES.

First aid facility: OXY-VIVA EQUIPMENT AND DELUGE SAFETY SHOWER SHOULD
