If ingested, hydrofluoric acid may disrupt the body's electrolyte balance by binding essential metal ions such as magnesium and calcium (hypocalcemia) which may disrupt normal heart and nervous system functions. Disruptions to the body's potassium balance (hyperkalemia) may also occur. Effects may appear immediately or be delayed as much as 4 hours after exposure. Death usually results from uncontrollable ventricular fibrillation. Intravenous calcium chloride or gluconate may be indicated to prevent hypocalcemia. Consultation with a medical toxicologist is advised. IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water for at least 15 minutes. IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Inhalation of hydrofluoric acid fumes may cause swelling in the respiratory tract up to 24 hours after exposure.
