ACUTE PHYSTOLOGICAL EFFECTS (ini: ial symptoms) include increased heart rate,
Buintly. elevated blood pressive, moderately dilated pupils, slightly
Einaued’ vision, sleepiness, light dryness of mouth, duliness in mental
processes, no loss of contact with reality. Moderate symptoms include rapid
pitt rate, dry lips, mouth, and skin; elevated temperature, sedation,
Tooting {illusions or hallucianations, brief lapses in concentration,
scene. Confusion, dizziness, voniting. Signs of severe symptoms are USty
rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, dry lips, | mouth, and skin; dis-
Luvhanees, in performance, menory, ‘and attention, incoherent speech, de-
{iriun, vomiting, fever, dizziness, staggering, prostration, sedation,
stupor, and coma.
The incapacitated person mumbles to himself, picks at specks on the floor,
aml fails to comprehend or respond to simple questions or instructions. He
$s out of touch and unaware, Later he is amnesic for most of his ex-
perience. The most noticeable peripheral autonomic effects are dry mouth
ea mydriasis, which may persist after the delirium has cleared.
CURONTC PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS (monkeys). Intravenous daily a ys of EA
seein given 20 tines in 4 weeks to groups of male and female monkeys Pro-
duced the following effects: \
0.010, 0.1, and 1.0 mg/kg Decreased locomotor activity and
ataxia.
0.1 and 2.0 mg/kg Increased or decreased respiratory
depth, increased respiratory,
rate, mydriasis, and decreased ag-
gressiveness.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST ALD PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Immediately remove from exposure. k medical att
immediately. If breathing is ‘irregular or has stopped, start resuscitation
and administer oxygen.
EYE CONTACT: Flush out eyes with saline solution to prevent absorption
through mucous surfaces (15 minutes). Do not rub eyes. medical
attention immediately.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin with soap and water to prevent absorption
through abrasions and skin, or orally by ingestion. If washing te impossi-
prong sorbent powder in the skin decontamination pad of the M13 kit may be
Poskelelal. If a large quantity is on skin, add solution by washing with 1
N hydrochloric acid and then with water. Seek medical attention immediate-
ly
INGESTION: Cleansing the mouth with an astringent swab may be comfort~
ing and will reduce the foul breath associated with parching of the mem-
ito en Fluids shou'd be given sparingly because of the danger of vomiting
