May Be Harmful or Fatal if Absorbed Through Skin or Inhaled. Harmful to Skin and Eyes. STATEMENT OF PRACTICAL TREATMENT IF £HALLOWED IMMEDIATELY induce vomiting by inserting finger in throat. Administer fluids and induce further vomiting. Get to a hospital or physician fast. PROMPT TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL and must be initiated before signs and symptoms of iniury appear. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Symptoms following ingestion may be delayed up to 3 days. To be effective, treatment for paraquat poisoning must begin IMMEDIATELY. Treatment consists of binding paraquat in the gut with suspensions of bentonite clay or charcoal and removal of paraquat from the blood by prolonged charcoal hempoerfusion or continuous hemodialysis. SKIN CONTA~£ IMMEDIATELY wash with soap and water. Remove and wash all contaminated clothing with soap and hot water before reuse. Prolonged contact will cause s~ve~e irritation. Contact with irritated skin, or a cut, or repeated contact with intact ~kin may result in poisoning. ~CONTAcr IMMEDIATELY wash eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention. Conta~t may cause eye injury. INHALATION IMMEDIATELY get away from spray mist. Exposure may cause irritation, nose bl~eds and may lead to poisoning. Stop and check spray procedure. Follow Horker Safetv Rules on this label. HORKER SAFETY RULES/REENTRY STATEMENTS DO NOT get on skin. eyes or clothing. DO NOT inhale spray mist. HASH SPLASHES from skin and eyes immediately. REMOVE and wash contaminated clothing. HASH before eating, smoking and dr1nking. HEAR full face shield, rubber gloves and apron and waterproof footwear when handling or mixing concentrate. . HEAR waterproof footwear and cloth~ng when spraYing or when contacting vegetation wet with spray. DO NOT enter treated areas without protective clothing until sprays have dried. AVOID working in spray mist. If there is risk of exposure wear qoggles and approved face mask capable of filterinq spray droplets. KEEP all unprotected persons out of operating areas or vicinitv where • ( • i Lhere may ~a danger of drift . . Certain states may require more restrictive reentry intervals: consult your State Department of Aqriculture for further information. Written or oral warninqs reqardinq use of protective clothinq and acci­ dental exposure must be qiven to workers who are expected to be in treated areas or in areas about to be treated. IMPORTANT: The effect of swallowing Paraquat is far more severe than that which usually results from skin contact or inhalation of spray mist. No opportunity for mist or product to cause serious in;ury or death should arise when used in strict compliance with these ~ules but the opportunity may arise in case of gross violations so strictly fOllow aU, these rules as if yOU life depends on it. ENVIRONMENTAL SlIFETY CAUTIONS WILDLIFE: This product is toxic to wildlife. Birds and other wild­ life in treated areas may be killed. Do not apply directly to water.
