SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Description of first aid measures

General advice Move out of dangerous area. Place and transport victim in stable
position (lying sideways). Remove contaminated clothing immediately
and dispose of safely.
Inhalation Move to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. Call a physician or
poison control center immediately.
Skin contact Wash off thoroughly with plenty of soap and water, if available with
polyethyleneglycol 400, subsequently rinse with water. Warm water
may increase the subjective severity of the irritation/paresthesia. This
is not a sign of systemic poisoning. In case of skin irritation, application
of oils or lotions containing vitamin E may be considered. If symptoms
persist, call a physician.
Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at
least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Warm water may increase the
subjective severity of the irritation/paresthesia. This is not a sign of
systemic poisoning. Apply soothing eye drops, if needed anaesthetic
eye drops. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion Rinse out mouth and give water in small sips to drink. Do NOT induce
vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms Local:, Skin and eye paraesthesia which may be severe, Usually
transient with resolution within 24 hours, Skin, eye and mucous
membrane irritation, Cough, sneezing
Systemic:, discomfort in the chest, tachycardia, hypotension, Nausea,
Abdominal pain, Diarrhoea, Vomiting, Blurred vision, Headache,
Anorexia, Somnolence, Coma, Convulsions, Tremors, Prostration,
Airway hyperreaction, Pulmonary oedema, Palpitation, Muscular
fasciculation, Apathy, Dizziness
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Risks This product contains a pyrethroid. Pyrethroid poisoning should not be
confused with carbamate or organophosphate poisoning.
Treatment Systemic treatment: Initial treatment: symptomatic. Monitor: respiratory
and cardiac functions. In case of ingestion gastric lavage should be
considered in cases of significant ingestions only within the first 2
hours. However, the application of activated charcoal and sodium
sulphate is always advisable. Keep respiratory tract clear. Oxygen or
artificial respiration if needed. In case of convulsions, a
benzodiazepine (e.g. diazepam) should be given according to standard
regimens. If not effective, phenobarbital may be used.
Contraindication: atropine. Contraindication: derivatives of adrenaline.
There is no specific antidote. Recovery is spontaneous and without
sequelae.
In case of skin irritation, application of oils or lotions containing vitamin
E may be considered.

In normal use and handling conditions please refer to the label and/or leaflet. In all other cases the
following recommendations would apply.
Respiratory protection Respiratory protection is not required under anticipated
circumstances of exposure.
Respiratory protection should only be used to control residual risk of
short duration activities, when all reasonably practicable steps have
been taken to reduce exposure at source e.g. containment and/or
local extract ventilation. Always follow respirator manufacturer's
instructions regarding wearing and maintenance.

Hand protection Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and

breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves.
Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which
the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the
contact time.
Wash gloves when contaminated. Dispose of when contaminated
inside, when perforated or when contamination on the outside cannot
be removed. Wash hands frequently and always before eating,
drinking, smoking or using the toilet.
Material Nitrile rubber
Rate of permeability > 480 min
Glove thickness > 0.4 mm
Protective index Class 6
Directive Protective gloves complying with EN
