11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Hazard
Low toxicity. Restrict application to target areas only and avoid eye-skin contact and dust inhalation. Due to the low levels of active ingredients in this product, adverse health effects are not anticipated with normal use. Nocumulative or chronic effects have been reported. Pyrethrins have consistently demonstrated low toxicity tohumans.
Low to moderate irritant. Exposure may result in irritation, pain and redness.
Inhalation
Low to moderate irritant - low toxicity. Over exposure may result in mucous membrane irritation of the respiratorytract and sneezing. At high levels, pyrethrins may cause breathing difficulties (wheezing) and sensitisation withasthma like symptoms.
Low irritant. Prolonged and repeated contact may result in irritation, skin rash and dermatitis.
Ingestion
Low toxicity. Ingestion may result in headache, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal irritation and diarrhoea.
