III - Hazards Identification
Inhalation:
May
be fatal by cyanide poisoning via inhalation of hydrogen cyanide gas.
Skin
Contact: Absorption through skin may be fatal. May cause irritation, rash.
Eye
Contact: Can cause severe irritation, damage to eyes.
Ingestion:
Small amounts can cause death.
Chronic:
May develop a "cyanide" rash and may cause loss of appetite, headache,
weakness, nausea, dizziness, and symptoms of irritation of upper respiratory
tract and eyes.

SECTION
IV - First Aid Measures
Skin
Contact: Wash skin to remove cyanide while removing all contaminated clothing,
including shoes. Do not delay. Skin absorption can occur from cyanide dust,
solutions, or HCN vapor.
Seek
immediate medical attention.
Eye
Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
holding lids apart to ensure flushing of entire surface. Washing eyes within
several seconds of exposure is essential to minimize damage. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Oxygen should be
administered and amyl nitrite from a Lilly Cyanide antidote kit should be
available for use if consciousness is impaired (non-responsive, slurred speech,
confusion, drowsiness) or if the person is unconscious but breathing. DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. Get immediate medical attention.
Inhalation:
Remove victim to fresh air. If victim is unconscious and not breathing,
resuscitate by mechanical means and administer amyl nitrite antidote. Avoid
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation due to the possibility of rescuer being poisoned
by cyanide from victim. Use mouth-to-mouth only if no mechanical means are
available. If conscious, administer oxygen and if necessary amyl nitrite
antidote. Keep victim quiet and warm. Get immediate medical attention.
