• If you are sprayed or have chemicals spilled on you, you need to:
  
  
  1. Take off contaminated clothes.
  2. Wash your body with soap and water.
  3. If you feel sick, go to a clinic or emergency room right away.
  
• If someone swallows the chemicals by accident, get medical attention immediately.
• If someone is sick from breathing the chemicals, get them to fresh air and loosen their clothes.
• If you get any of the chemical in your eye, rinse your eye for several minutes and then go to a clinic or emergency room.
• If you get sick or injured because of agricultural chemicals at work, your employer is legally required to take you to get medical help and to bring along the name of the chemical used.
