Strychnine

PRECAUTIONS: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, DOMESTIC ANIMALS AND UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. 

Fatal if swallowed or absorbed through the eyes. May be fatal if dust from treated bait is inhaled. Corrosive to the eyes. DO NOT get in the eyes. All unopened, empty or partially empty concentrate bottles and treated grain must be locked and stored away from food or feed. 

DO NOT contaminate feed and foodstuffs or any water supply. Treated grain should be placed in areas inaccessible to children, pets, wildlife and domestic animals. Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, chemical resistant gloves, socks and shoes when retrieving and disposing of poisoned carcasses. 

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS. 

This product is toxic to wildlife. Treated grain exposed on soil surface and poisoned carcasses may be hazardous to birds and other wildlife. All treated grain and poisoned carcasses exposed on soil surface must be collected and disposed of by incineration or burial in a pit no less than 46 cm (approximately 18 inches) deep and then covered to prevent non-target poisonings. Toxic to all forms of life. 

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: 

Central nervous system stimulant. Convulsions may occur within 5 to 10 minutes if ingestion. If the person is fully conscious and not convulsing a few moments after the ingestion, immediate ingestion of activated charcoal has been proven beneficial. Keep the patient in a warm, dark room with minimal sensory stimulation. Postpone gastric lavage until the patient is fully premedicated to control further convulsions or seizures. Artificial respiration may become necessary. Keep patient under continual observation until convulsions and reflex irritability have been suppressed and gastric lavage can be performed safely.
