Emergency and Hazards Overview
DANGER: FLAMMABLE. MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
Primary Route of Exposure: Skin Inhalation

Health Effect Information
EYE CONTACT: Avoid eye contact. This product has not been tested for acute eye hazards. May be irritating to the eyes upon direct contact. Exposure to high concentrations of vapors may be irritating to the eyes.
SKIN CONTACT: This product may cause slight skin irritation upon direct contact. Pre-existing skin conditions may make the skin more susceptible and facilitate uptake by this route.
INHALATION: This product is not expected to pose an inhalation hazard under conditions of foreseeable use. Avoid prolonged inhalation of mist or vapors. This product may be considered a low health hazard unless inhaled in very high concentrations. Acute and chronic overexposures may be irritating to the respiratory tract. Severe intoxication may lead to drowsiness, dullness, numbness, and headache followed by dizziness, weakness, and nausea.
INGESTION: Do not ingest. Ingestion of small quantities is usually nonfatal unless aspiration occurs. Aspiration may lead to chemical pneumonitis which is characterized by pulmonary edema and hemorrhage and may be fatal. Signs of lung involvement include increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, and a bluish discoloration of the skin. Coughing, choking, and gagging are
often noted at the time of aspiration. Gastrointestinal discomfort may develop, followed by vomiting with a further risk of aspiration. Severe oral intoxication will lead to intense burning of the throat and may result in drowsiness, dullness, numbness, and headache followed by dizziness, weakness, and nausea. Loss of consciousness and convulsions followed by death may result.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Drying and chapping may make the skin more susceptible to other irritants, sensitizers and disease.
