skin rash develops, simply wash (dilute) with potable water.
Eye
Contact: Flush with water at least 15
minutes and get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin contact: For most cases, do
nothing. The product is non-caustic and non-corrosive. However, in
rare individuals, a skin rash may develop with extended periods of
exposure to the undiluted product. This passes by washing the
exposed area with potable water and avoiding further prolonged
exposure.
Ingestion: For all
intended purposes, none. The ingredients are all GRAS-approved food
grade. | |
