burning in the mouth & esophagus, & abdominal pain. Other symptoms
may be similar to those noted for inhalation exposure. Skin: may
cause severe pain & deep ulcers which heal slowly. May be absorbed
through the skin & cause symptoms similar to those noted for
inhalation. Eye: symptoms may include redness, pain, blurred

medical cond aggravated by exposure: workers using cyanides should have
a preplacement and periodic medical exam. Those with history of

to the effects of this substance.
First aid: in case of cyanide poisoning, start first aid treatment
immediately, then get medical attention. Administer antidote kit
(see supplemental data) & oxygen per pre-planned instructions if
symptoms occur . Inhalation: remove to fresh air. keep patient
warm & at rest do not give mouth to mouth resuscitation. Ingestion:
if patient is conscious, immediately give activated charcoal
