FIRST AID 
This product contains an organophosphate and Is a cholinesterase inhibitor. 
Call a doctor (physician). clinic or hospital immediately. Explain that the victim has been exposed to methyl parathion and describe 
his condition. After first aid is given and if a doctor cannot come, take victim to clinic or hospital. 
IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, start artificial respiration immediately and maintain until doctor sees victim. 
IF SWALLOWED, drink 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching back of throat with finger. Do not induce vomiting or 
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. 
IN CASE OF CONTACT, immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water. See doctor immediately. 
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Antidote - administer atropine sulfate in large doses, TWO to FOUR mg. intravenously or intramuscularly as 
soon as cyanosis is overcome. Repeat at 5 to 10 minute intervals until signs of atropinization appear. 2-PAM chloride is also 
antidotal and may be administered in conjunction with atropine, 00 NOT GIVE MORPHINE OR TRANQUILIZERS. Methyl parathion 
is a strong chOlinesterase inhibitor affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems and producing cardiac and respiratory 
depression. At first sign of pulmonary edema, the patient should be given supplemental oxygen and treated symptomaticaUy. 
Contlnued absorption of the poison may occur and fatal relapses have been reported atter initial improvement. VERY CLOSE
