  Section IV.  First Aid Measures 
 Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 
 minutes. Get medical attention. 
 Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing 
 before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. 
 Inhalation If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or 
 waistband. If breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention if respiration problems do not 
 improve. 
 Ingestion INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. 
 Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth 
 resuscitation. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic 
 material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive.
