Serious effects may be delayed following exposure. Ingestion May be harmful if swallowed. Skin : Moderately irritating to the skin. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Eyes : Moderately irritating to eyes. Over-exposure signs/symptoms Repeated exposure to high vapor concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory system and permanent brain and nervous system damage.
