Health hazards

toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed, eye irritant. This is an antibiotic preparation. Any person with a history of allergies to this class of substances should avoid all contact with this product as it may cause sensitisation. This is a physiologically active product and so contact should be minimised, especially if the user is taking a form of medication, as interactions can sometimes give unexpected and undesired results. The following is a summary of methanol toxicity and symptomology 1. A latency usually of 12-18 hours, during which time the only clinical signs are those of a generally mild and transient state of inebriation as after ethanol. 2. Headache, anorexia, weakness, fatigue, leg cramps, vertigo, restlessness. 3. Nausea, occasionally vomiting and diarrhoea. Violent abdominal pain, back pain, leg pain. 4. Apathy or delirium progressing sometimes rapidly to coma. Rarely excitement, mania, and convulsions. 5. Dimness of vision with dilated pupils, reacting poorly, if at all, to light, followed often by bilateral blindness (transient or permanent). Eyes are often sensitive to pressure, and eye movements are painful. 6. Breathing is rapid and shallow, not usually deep and laboured as seen in other types of metabolic acidosis. 7. Mild tachycardia is common, but the blood pressure is usually well maintained. 8. Death in coma is due to respiratory failure or rarely to circulatory collapse. 9. Protracted convalescence with asthenia. Blindness is usually permanent. May cause very serious irreversible effects.
