| 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. |

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.
