CAN CAUSE ANESTHETIC OR IRRITANT EFFECTS, DIZZINESS, DRUNKENNESS,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INCREASED SENSITIVITY TO ADRENALINE
MAY BE CAUSED BY OVER EXPOSURE. PERSONS WITH LIVER OR KIDNEY
DISEASE MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH
RESUSCITATION IF NOT BREATHING. GIVE OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS
