Eyes
Causes eye irritation. May cause eye burns.
Causes eye irritation. May cause eye burns.
Ingestion
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if swallowed. A case of fatal xylenol ingestion by a long stay mental hospital patient is described. Clinical course was similar to that observed in other phenolic poisonings with active bowel sounds, nausea, vomiting, severe metabolic acidosis, hypotension, and cardiac and renal failure.
