    CAUSE ANESTHETIC EFFECTS, LIVER EFFECTS, BLINDNESS, ACIDOSIS. MAY
    CAUSE NAUSEA, WEAKNESS, TEMPORARY CNS DEPRESSION, LOSS OF
    CONSCIOUSNESS, BLINDNESS, ABNORMAL KIDNEY  FUNCTION, DEATH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:METHANOL HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CAUSE
    BIRTH DEFECTS IN RATS EXPOSED TO VERY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS (20,000
    PPM), PER MSDS.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION, TEARING. BURNING SENSATION, DRYING
    SKIN, DEFATTING, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DROWSINESS, HEADACHE,
    FATIGUE, CONVULSIONS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, DEATH, BLINDNESS, SWELLING
    OF EYES AND REDNESS
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING
    DISEASES OF THE EYE, SKIN, RESPIRATORY TRACT, LIVER, KIDNEY, CNS
    MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS
    OPEN. SEE PHYSICIAN. SKIN:WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP & WATER. IF
    IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEE DOCTOR. INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
    PROVIDE C PR/OXYGEN IF NEEDED. OBTAIN EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP.
