| 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.
