Effects of Overexposure:CNS DISTURBANCES, DIZZINESS, PHOTOPHOBIA,
    HEADACHE, STUPOR, COMA, AND DEATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:IMPAIRED KIDNEY AND LIVER FUNCTION
    MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO ALCOHOLS. PREEXISTING EYE, SKIN,
    AND RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS MAY ALSO BE AGGRAVATED. METHANOL HAS
    SHOWN GENETIC TOXICITY IN ANIMALS.

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

First Aid:IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT, FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT, REMOVE
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND FLUSH WITH WATER. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
    IF IRRITAT ION PERSISTS. IN CASE OF INGESTION DO NOT INDUCE
    VOMITING IF PATIENT IS UNCONSCIOUS OR EXTREMELY DROWSY. OTHERWISE
