Skin contact, eye contact, inhalation, and ingestion.
Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 7500 mg/kg (rat).
Skin contact may cause moderate to severe irritation. Repeated exposure would produce drying and cracking or
defatting dermatitis.
Inhalation of vapours can cause CNS depression with symptoms of nausea, headaches, vomiting, dizziness,
fatigue, light-headedness, reduced coordination, unconciousness and possibly death. Inhalation can also cause
irritation of nose and throat.
Aspiration of liquid drops into the lungs may produce potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis (fluid in the lungs),
severe lung damage, or respiratory failure.
Eye contact may cause mild irritation, but no permanent damage.
