(BLINDNESS).
SKIN:
CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION. MAY BE HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. SKIN
INFLAMMATION IS CHARACTERIZED BY ITCHING, SCALING, OR REDDENING.
INHALATION:
OVER-EXPOSURE BY INHALATION MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INHALATION OF
THE SPRAY OR MIST MAY PRODUCE SEVERE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT,
CHARACTERIZED BY COUGHING, CHOKING OR SHORTNESS OF BREATH. CAN CAUSE
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) DEPRESSION.
INGESTION:
HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY CAUSE BURNS TO MOUTH, THROAT AND STOMACH.
