Ferric ammonium oxalate Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Inhalation Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 5 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may be used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek medical attention. Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention. Serious Inhalation Ingestion Serious Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention. Section 5.
