Chronic Effects on Humans
Special Remarks on other Acute Potential Health Effects:
Toxic Effects on Humans Warning: May Be Habit Forming.
Skin: It may cause skin irritation. It may be absorbed through intact skin. Harmful if absorbed through skin.
Symptoms may parallel that of ingestion.
Eyes: It may cause mild irritation. It may have a strong narcotic effect (pupil contraction) and the eyes may
serve as an absorption route to the body in general.
Inhalation: Narcotic. Harmful if inhaled. It can cause respiratory tract irritation and sneezing or coughing.
It may also have an anesthetic effect. Inhalation of large amounts may produce lung edema, respiratory
difficulties, and affect behavior/central nervous system (affects similar to ingestion).
Ingestion: Toxic! Narcotic. It may be fatal if swallowed. It may cause gastric disturbances such as stomach
pain, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Ingestion of large amounts may affect
behavior/central nervous system/peripheral nervous system (central nervous system depression or
excitation - general anesthetic, headache, restlessness, skeletal and thoracic muscle rigidity, euphoria,
somnolence, convulsions, lightheadedness, drowsiness, fainting, dizziness; flaccid paralysis),
respiration(respiratory depressant), eyes (miosis (pupil contraction), blurred vision)and cardiovascular
system (hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, circulatory depression, cardiac arrest). When ingested with
a tranquilizer, the following adverse reactions may occur: increased risk of cardiovascular depression chills
and/or shivering, restlessness, hallucinatory episodes, mental depression.
Chronic Potential Health Effects:
Ingestion: May be habit forming upon prolonged or repeated ingestion.
Skin and Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause allergic reactions with skin rashes, itiching,
coughs, stuffy nose, asthma.
