POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ---------------------------------------
Inhalation:
Vapor inhalation is generally not a problem unless heated or misted. Exposure to vapors over an extended
time period has caused throat irritation and headache. May cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness and
drowsiness. Pulmonary edema and central nervous system depression may also develop. When heated or
misted, has produced rapid, involuntary eye movement and coma.
Ingestion:
Initial symptoms in massive dosage parallel alcohol intoxication, progressing to CNS depression,
vomiting, headache, rapid respiratory and heart rate, lowered blood pressure, stupor, collapse, and
unconsciousness with convulsions. Death from respiratory arrest or cardiovascular collapse may follow.
Lethal dose in humans: 100 ml (3-4 ounces).
