From MSDS
Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated inhalation exposure to the product vapor or spray mist may be harmful. Eye Contact: The undiluted product is moderately irritating to the eyes. Eye contact may include discomfort, tearing, swelling, redness, and blurred vision. Skin Contact: The substance is a moderate skin irritant. Skin irritation may include discomfort, redness, swelling, and possibly blistering. If absorbed through the skin, this substance is considered practically non-toxic to internal organs. Ingestion: Depending upon the amount of product swallowed, this substance can produce signs and symptoms of systemic poisoning. In addition the product contains a petroleum solvent that can directly enter the lungs if it is swallowed (this is called aspiration). This can occur during the act of swallowing or when vomiting the substance. Once in the lungs, the petroleum solvent is very difficult to remove and can cause severe injury to the lungs and death. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None known. Persons with depressed cholinesterase levels or hemolytic anemia, or who are under treatment with morphine, theophylline, aminophylline or phenothiazine drugs may show pronounced effects from exposure to this product.
Comments:
Depending on the extent and degree of overexposure to the product, signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition can result following either ingestion, skin contact or inhalation routes of exposure. Signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition can also result from either acute (one time), subchronic (repeated short-term) and chronic (daily life-time) overexposure to the product.
Signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition usually occur within 12 hours following overexposure. These effects may include, but may not be limited to, headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constriction of the pupil of the eye, blurred or dark vision, excessive salivation or nasal discharge, profuse sweating and abdominal cramps. Incontinence, unconsciousness, convulsions and breathing difficulties are indicative of severe poisoning. In untreated severe poisoning, death is due to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.
This product contains a petroleum distillate. Depending on the degree of overexposure, the systemic toxicity of the product may be of less concern than the potential clinical complications that can result from aspiration of the petroleum distillate into the lungs if the product is either swallowed or vomited.
