contaminated clothing and footwear. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly
clean shoes before reuse. If symptoms develop and persist, get medical
attention.

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.

Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Keep

individual calm. Get immediate medical attention.
