DANGER!-POISON

PELIGRO

FIRST AID

If on skin or clothing:

● 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.

If in eyes:

● Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes.

● Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye.

● Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

If swallowed:

● Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.

● Do not give any liquid to this person.

● 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.

If inhaled:

● 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.

HOT LINE NUMBER

Contains an organophosphate that inhibits cholinesterase.

Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. You may also contact 1-800-422-9874 for emergency medical treatment information.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN

Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Contains petroleum hydrocarbons - vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia. Poisoning Symptoms: Symptoms include weakness, headache, tightness in chest, blurred vision, non-reactive pinpoint pupils, salivation, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Treatment: Atropine is the specific therapeutic antagonist of choice against parasympathetic nervous stimulation. If there are signs of parasympathetic stimulation, Atropine Sulfate should be injected at 10-minute intervals in doses of 1 to 2 milligrams until complete atropinization has occurred. Pralidoxine chloride (2-PAM) may also be used as an effective antidote in addition to and while maintaining full atropinization. In adults, an initial dose of 1 gram of 2-PAM should be injected preferably as an infusion in 250cc of saline over a 15 to 30 minute period. If this is not practical, 2-PAM may be administered slowly by intravenous injection as a 5 percent solution in water over not less than two minutes. After about an hour, a second dose of 1 gram of 2-PAM will be indicated if muscle weakness has not been relieved. For infants and children the dose of 2-PAM is 0.25 grams. Morphine is an improper treatment. Clear chest by postural drainage. Oxygen administration may be necessary. Observe patient continuously for 48 hours. Repeated exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors may without warning cause prolonged susceptibility to very small doses of any cholinesterase inhibitor. Allow no further exposure until cholinesterase regeneration has been attained as determined by blood test.

Precautionary Statements

HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS

DANGER - POISON. Fatal if absorbed through skin. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Corrosive. Causes skin burns and irreversible eye damage. May be fatal if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing vapor, or spray mist. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

POISONOUS IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN AND EYES. RAPIDLY ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. REPEATED INHALATION OR SKIN CONTACT MAY WITHOUT SYMPTOMS, PROGRESSIVELY INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DICHLORVOS (DDVP) POISONING. Do not swallow or get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Do not breathe vapor. Do not contaminate food or feed products. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.

Directions For Use

Restricted Use Pesticide

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

This product must be mixed with water or diesel oil, depending on use, prior to using. It is suitable for use in conventional power or low pressure knapsack sprayers, mist blowers or non-thermal foggers. Select the specific site, method of use and insect problem, then dilute as directed. Follow the remarks for the safe use and best results in using this product. Do not store diluted product. Prior to use, read the Precautionary Statements elsewhere on the product label.

NOTIFICATION: Before the start of application, post fumigant warning signs at all entrances to the building. The signs must bear the skull and crossbones symbol and state: (1) DANGER/PELIGRO, (2) Building under fumigation, DO NOT ENTER/NO ENTRE, (3) the date and time of fumigation, (4) Dichlorvos Fumigant in use, and name, address, and telephone number of the applicator. The signs must be located prominently at each entrance, using a sign size and letter size that makes the sign clearly legible. All signs must be removed after the ventilation is complete and before routine entry by unprotected persons is permitted.

Entry by any person - other than a correctly trained and equipped handler who is performing a

task related to ventilation or air concentration monitoring and who is wearing the personal protective equipment required for handlers - is PROHIBITED in the entire enclosed structure/building from the start of application until ventilation is complete. Ventilation is complete either when 24 hours have elapsed following application and the building has been opened and aired or when a direct-indication short term monitoring device (e.g. Draeger tube) indicates that the Dichlorvos air concentration is equal to, or less than 0.050 ppm (50% of the OSHA PEL).
