Hi Jean and folks,
We MUST have been looking at two different documents psychically - not
physically!
After reading it again, myself - it was tougher in warning than
the original source of my Cancer - in fact a *lot* tougher .
Vis:
Inhalation:

shortness of breath. May cause allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.

and chest pains.

Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. May
cause scaling, Readily absorbed through the skin. Garlic-like taste and
odor may develop on the breath and skin. Transient disturbances of color
vision, photophobia, headache, diarrhea, and dermatitis may result from
skin applications. A good solvent; may result in the increased skin
absorption of other more toxic materials.
Eye Contact:
Causes irritation, redness, and pain. May cause blurred vision.
Chronic Exposure:

scaling dermatitis. Repeated oral doses may effect the liver and kidneys.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:

including drugs and allergens of moderate molecular weight.
Cheers?
John
