Safety & Handling
Please review the current product label and SDS before using Parasite-S®.
Formaldehyde vapor can cause severe respiratory irritation and may be life-threatening at high concentrations. Parasite-S® contains methanol and must be handled with appropriate care and personal protective equipment.
Parasite-S® is a combustible, toxic substance. Store in a secure, well-ventilated area away from heat, with the container tightly closed.
Avoid exposure to skin, eyes, and respiratory system. In the event of exposure, flush with clean water and seek immediate medical attention.
Heavily parasitized or diseased fish and penaeid shrimp may have reduced tolerance to Parasite-S®. Follow the approved label directions and consult a fish health professional when appropriate. Dispose of product and treatment solutions in accordance with applicable regulations.
