Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye and skin contact, ingestion, inhalation, skin absorption Symptoms of acute overexposure Skin: Severe irritation or burns, necrosis, blistering and permanent injury. Product can be absorbed through the skin and may cause nausea, headache and general discomfort. Eyes: Severe irritation or burns.
