in insomnia, restlessness, increased respiration, delirium and may effect the cardiovascular
system.
Carcinogen status: possible teratogen
SECTION 4 :: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes with water as a precaution. If eye irritation persists, consult with a specialist.
Skin: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, cal a physician.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, cal a physician.
