From MSDS
INHALATION: Avoid prolonged inhalation of vapors. Exposure to vapors may be irritating to the throat and lungs. When high concentrations are inhaled, human signs may include a reddening of the face and a feeling of increased body heat. In addition, disturbed vision, dizziness, tremors, salivation, cardiac stress, drowsiness, dullness, numbness, weakness, headache, nausea, and confusion, as well as respiratory difficulties may be apparent. Extremely high concentrations have anesthetic effects and may lead to death.
EYE CONTACT: Avoid eye contact. This product can cause corneal burns, twitching and redness. These effects are transient, and complete recovery follows.
SKIN CONTACT: Avoid skin contact. This product may cause skin irritation upon direct contact. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. This condition may make the skin more susceptible to other irritants, sensitizers, and disease. Pre-existing skin conditions may make the skin more susceptible and facilitate uptake by this route. May be absorbed through skin.
INGESTION: There are no known adverse effects based on current references. 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. Ingestion will cause severe gastrointestinal distress. 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.

From MSDS
Signs and symptoms from chronic exposure resemble those from acute mishaps but are in part systemically more severe. Symptoms related to the nervous system, kidneys, and liver have been reported following long-term inhalation exposure to high concentrations.
Laboratory animals repeatedly exposed to high doses of xylene have exhibited symptoms related to liver, kidney, lungs, spleen, heart, blood and adrenals.
