May cause loss of corneal epithelium, corneal infiltration, release of pigment into the anterior chamber with deposits on
the back of the cornea. Inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal tract
irritation. May affect behavior/central nervous system (mild stimulation followed by depression, twitching, spastic
convulsions, ataxia), and respiration (slowed respiration). Other symptoms may include atrial fibrillation, muscle pain,
cooling sensation, burning sensation.
