At concentrations which cause irritation, dizziness, faintness, drowsiness, nausea and vomiting may also occur. INGESTION: May cause dizziness, faintness, drowsiness, decreased awareness and responsiveness, euphoria, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, staggering gait, lack of coordination and coma. SKIN ABSORPTION: No adverse effects with normal skin. However, potentially harmful amounts of material may be absorbed across markedly abraded skin when contact is sustained, particularly in children.
