2.3 Other hazards

The potential health hazards associated with exposure/handling of this mixture are unknown; no data specific for the mixture were identified. The following data describe the hazards of individual ingredients, where applicable. This product contains human urine and should be treated/handled as a potential biohazard. All such human urine has been derived from donors tested individually and shown by FDA approved methods to be free from antibodies to Human Immune Deficiency Virus and Hepatitis B and C. As no test method can offer complete assurance that these or other infectious agents are not present, this product should be handled using standard biosafety precautions. Because the mixture contains enzymes/protein it may cause an allergic skin or respiratory reaction (e.g., potential to cause anaphylaxis). In a workplace setting, the likelihood of systemic effects following accidental ingestion is low, due to the rapid breakdown of proteins in the digestive tract. Thimerosal contains ~50% mercury by weight and is metabolized to ethyl mercury and thiosalicylate. Mercury derivatives are considered to be contact allergens and their cross-reactivity is not constant. Note This mixture is classified as hazardous
