=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:NHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE
    QUANTITIES OF WAT ER OR MILK IF AVAILABLE. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
    MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
