| Health
Hazards (Acute and Chronic): Large doses of iodine cause sever
vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, thirst, shock, fever, delirium, stupor
and death. Prolonged exposure to iodine compounds may produce iodism and
deficiency of thyroid hormone. |
| Signs
and Symptoms of Exposure: May
cause contact dermatitis. Repeated, excessive exposure to iodine compounds
may cause rash, swelling of the vocal cords, severe generalized allergic
reaction, joint pain and swelling. Iodine is absorbed through intact skin. |
| Medical
Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:Individuals with thyroid,
lung or kidney disease may wish to consult a physician before working with
iodine compounds. |
Emergency
and First Aid Procedures:
Seek medical
assistance for further treatment, observation and support if necessary.
Eye Contact:
Flush with water at least 15 minutes and get medical attention if irritation
persists.
Skin contact:
If exposed to more than five drops, remove contaminated clothing and flush
with water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion:
If four drops or more are ingested at one time, immediate steps should
be taken. Do not induce vomiting if patient is unconscious or extremely
drowsy. Otherwise administer 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting. Get
immediate medical attention even if symptoms improve. |
