Additional Information
RTECS: KW2975000
When ingested early symptoms mimic alcohol inebriation and are followed by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
weakness, muscle tenderness, respiratory failure, convulsions, cardiovascular collapse, pulmonary edema,
hypocalcemic tetany, and severe metabolic acidosis. Without treatment, death may occur in 8 to 24 hours. Victims
who survive the initial toxicity period usually develop renal failure along with brain and liver damage., Exposure to
and/or consumption of alcohol may increase toxic effects.
