    OCCUR FROM GROSS OVEREXPOSURE.  INGESTION CAUSES SEVERE ACID BURNS
    OF THE MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH WITH PAIN. VOMITING
    AND DIARRHEA OF DARK BLOOD MAY OCCUR WITH PENETRATION O F THE
    ESOPHAGUS OR STOMACH.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN BURNS OR ULCERATION, EYE CORROSION WITH
    CORNEAL OR CONJUNCTIVAL ULCERATION, DENTAL EROSION, IRRITATION OF
    THE UPPER RESPIRATORY PASSAGES, COUGHING AND DISCOMFORT, DEATH,
    SEVERE ACID BURNS OF THE  MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH
    WITH PAIN, VOMITING AND DIARRHEA OF DARK BLOOD
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PRE-EXISTING
    DISEASES OF THE LUNGS MAY HAVE INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE
    TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURES.
