Symptoms of exposure include: skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of the mucous membrane. For severe cases the skin may show pimples, boils, hives, blisters and black and blue spots. Iodides are readily diffused across the placenta. Neonatal deaths from respiratory distress secondary to goiter have been reported. Iodides have been known to cause drug-induced fevers, which are usually of short duration., Symptoms of exposure may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated., muscular paralysis, contractions of the cardiac muscles, Diarrhoea, slow irregular pulse, hypertension, gastroenteritis, Exposure can cause dilation of the blood vessels and an increase in contraction of some smooth muscles. 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed no data available 5.1 Extinguishing Media: Suitable extinguishing media Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Hydrogen iodide, Calcium oxide 5.3 Advice for firefighters Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fighting if necessary.
