4. First aid measures
Eye contact Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses,
if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor
for further treatment advice.
Skin contact Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes.
Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Inhalation Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial
respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for
further treatment advice.
Ingestion Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of
water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or
doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Notes to physician This product is a pyrethroid. If large amounts have been ingested, the stomach and intestines should
be evacuated. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Digestible fats, oils, or alcohol may increase
absorption and so should be avoided.

Chronic Toxicity - Other Ingredient(s)
Chronic Toxicity Effects are expected to be similar to those that are seen with acute toxicity.
Carcinogenicity Cypermethrin caused an increase in benign lung tumors in mice, but not in rats, and was negative for
genotoxicity. EPA has classified zeta-cypermethrin as a possible human carcinogen based on this
information, but does not regulate based on its low cancer risk. Not recognized as carcinogenic by
Research Agencies (IARC, NTP, OSHA, ACGIH).
Mutagenicity Cypermethrin: Not genotoxic.
Reproductive toxicity Cypermethrin: No toxicity to reproduction.
Neurological Effects Cypermethrin did not cause neurotoxicity in animal experiments.
