NOTES |
---|
Pyrethrum is a mixture of pyrethrin I and II, cinerin I and II, and jasmolin I and II. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home. Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact. The symptoms of asthma often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered. |
