WHEEZING, LARYNGITIS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND
VOMITING.
MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC RESPIRATORY AND SKIN REACTIONS.
MAY CAUSE NERVOUS SYSTEM DISTURBANCES.
CAUSES PHOTOSENSITIVITY. EXPOSURE TO LIGHT CAN RESULT IN ALLERGIC
REACTIONS RESULTING IN DERMATOLOGIC LESIONS, WHICH CAN VARY FROM
SUNBURNLIKE RESPONSES TO EDEMATOUS, VESICULATED LESIONS OR BULLAE.
CHRONIC EFFECTS
CARCINOGEN.
MAY ALTER GENETIC MATERIAL.
