Potential Health Effects (Acute and Chronic)

Carcinogenicity: NTP? No , IARC Monographs? No , OSHA Regulated? No
Carcinogenicity/Other Information

Recommended Exposure Limits: No data available.
LD 50/LC 50: Acute Oral LD 50=2,614 mg/kg male rats
Signs and Symptoms Of Exposure
May produce skin sensations (feelings of numbing and tingling) in certain individuals. Moderate eye irritant. May cause drying and irritation of skin. These sensations normally subside and disappear within a few hours. If ingested, the product may cause diarrhea, salivation, bloody nose, increased urination, decreased activity, tremors and intermittent convulsions. Excessive inhalation causes coughing headache, dizziness, nausea as well as nose, throat, and respiratory tract irritation.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure

SECTION 4. First Aid Measures

Emergency and First Aid Procedures
IF INHALED: Quickly remove person from exposure. Call a physician if irritation persists.
IF INGESTED: Call a physician or Poison Control Center. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching back of throat with finger or, if available, by administration of syrup of ipecac. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING OR GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
IF ON SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing and wash with plenty of soap and water. Call a physician if irritation persists.
IF IN EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water. Call a physician if irritation persists.

Note to Physician

ADAMS FLEA & TICK CONTROL DOGS

Flash Pt: 132.00 F Method Used: Koehler Closed Cup Flash
Explosive Limits: LEL: No data. UEL: No data.
Autoignition Pt: N.A. Extinguishing Media
Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or halogenated agents.

Fire Fighting Instructions
Fight fire from upwind. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent and full protective gear. Do not use water. Handle as an oil fire, class B fire procedures. Remove unignited product from fire area if possible. Dike fire control waters to prevent their entry into sewers or other water courses.

Flammable Properties and Hazards
Combustible Liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Guard against spontaneous combustion or improperly discarded oily rags. Overheated containers are an explosion hazard. Vapors which form inside empty containers may also present an explosion hazard during a fire. Equipment used to fight pesticide fires may require decontamination before reuse.

Hazardous Combustion Products

SECTION 6. Accidental Release Measures
ADAMS FLEA & TICK CONTROL DOGS

Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled
Small Spills: Absorb with inert absorbent. Wash contaminated area with detergent and water solution. Discard in trash.
Large Spills (Bulk product only): Wear OSHA approved clean protective clothing, rubber gloves, and goggles. If vapor concentration becomes high, use self contained air mask (NIOSH approved). No smoking. Eliminate any source of ignition. Minimize inhalation. Recover free liquid by adding absorbent (earth, sawdust, kitty litter, etc.) to spill area. Shovel waste into a metal drum. Avoid contact with skin. Keep product out of sewers and water courses by diking or impounding. Advise authorities if product has entered or may enter sewers, watercourses or extensive land areas. CAUTION: SLIPPERY ON FLOOR. Following clean up of spilled liquid, wash contaminated area with detergent and water solution. Collect wash water in containers for disposal.

Precautions To Be Taken in Handling

Precautions To Be Taken in Storing

Other Precautions
Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear goggles, face shield or safety glasses. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

SECTION 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
ADAMS FLEA & TICK CONTROL DOGS

Protective Equipment Summary - Hazard Label Information:
None needed with normal use.    
  
Respiratory Equipment (Specify Type)
For fires, use self-contained breathing apparatus only. For moderate vapor or liquid mist exposure, use half mask or full face piece respirators which have NIOSH/MSHA approval for pesticides.

Eye Protection
Where potential for splashing exists, or contact with spray or mist is likely, protective goggles and face shield should be worn. A source of clean water for flushing should be nearby (i.e., emergency eye wash and shower stations).

Protective Gloves
Neoprene gloves for extended exposure.

Other Protective Clothing
Long sleeved coveralls or uniform, cap, rubber boots, rubber or plastic apron may be needed during formulation, packaging, or other handling of large amounts or product.

Engineering Controls (Ventilation etc.)
Local exhaust should be sufficient. If user operations generate fumes or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.

Work/Hygienic/Maintenance Practices
Wash thoroughly after use and before eating, smoking, or using restroom.
