| [Fire Fighting] Use carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemical on fires involving pyrethroids. | |
| [Ingestion] Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or poison control center for advice about whether to induce vomiting. If possible, do not leave individual unattended. | |
| [Inhalation] If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention. | |
| [Skin] Remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. A physician should examine the area if irritation or pain persists. Vitamin e topical application is highly effective in relieving paresthesias. | |
| [Eyes] Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. | |
| [Storage] Ventilate well. Store in closed drum in a cool, dry place. Pyrethrins with piperonyl butoxide topical preparations should be stored in well-closed containers at a temperature less than 40C, preferably between 15-30C. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Ingestion] Nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain commonly occur and develop within 10 to 60 minutes following ingestion. | |
| [Inhalation] Hypersensitivity reactions characterized by pneumonitis, cough, dyspnea, wheezing, chest pain, and bronchospasm may occur. Rare cases of respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest have been reported. | |
| [Skin] Irritant and contact dermatitis may develop. Erythema which mimics sunburn has also been noted after prolonged repeated exposure. | |
| [Eyes] A stuffy, runny nose and scratchy throat following inhalational exposure may be noted. | |
| [Personal Protection] Employees should be provided with and required to use dust- and splash-proof safety goggles where pyrethroids may contact the eyes. Pyrethroids. | |
| [Respirators] Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for exposure of concern. | |
