This is the Material Safety Data Sheet for Dextroamphetamine Sulphate (Dexedrine). I think the funniest part is the large, bold letters stating:
Emergency Overview
--------------------------
POISON! DANGER! MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED. HARMFUL IF INHALED. MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. ALLERGEN. EXPOSURE MAY PRODUCE ALLERGIC RESPONSE.
May be fatal if swallowed? Well, i'm screwed :P
LOL! Makes you just want to run out there and try it doesn't it!
LOL I always love MSDS sheets. We have lots of them at where I work - a potato chip plant. Vegetable oil has one too - I'll have to read that one for all of you but I can almost guarantee it recommends avoiding exposure to skin and such.
MSDS is all about being overly cautious to make sure noone can get sued if standard protocol is kept up. Cover yer Arse is the name of the game! After all - is everyone sick of seeing the plastic bags stuff comes into being plastered with "Do not put over head - NOT A TOY"?? We've become a society fascinated with litigation and unable to think sensibly for ourselves. Sad and yet funny too.
