    A fter contact w ith skin, w ash im m ediately w ith plen ty of w ater. G ently and thorough w ash the contam in ated skin w ith
    running w ater and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. C O LD w ater
    m ay be used. C over the irritated skin w ith an em ollient. Seek m edical attention. Treat sym ptom atically and
    supportively. Wash any contaminated clothing before reusing.
    Inhalation
    If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respiration. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or w aistband.
    If breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
    Ingestion
    IN D U C E V O M ITIN G by sticking finger in throat. Low er the head so that the vom it w ill not reenter the m outh and throat.
    Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt, or w aistband. If the victim is not breathing, adm inister artificial
    respiration. Exam ine the lips and m outh to ascertain w hether the tissues are dam aged, a possible indication that the
    toxic m aterial w as ingested; the absence of such signs, how ever, is not conclusive. Seek im m ediate m edical attention
