tery.
EMERGENCY MEASURES

If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water

mediate medical attention. If pos-
sible, continue to apply water with
a sponge or cloth while en route to
the medical office.CAUTION

If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contact area.
If you feel pain or burning, get
medical attention immediately.

If electrolyte gets on your clothes,
there is a possibility of its soaking
