Section 3: Hazards Identification
Eyes:  May cause severe eye burns.
Skin:  May cause severe burns, dermatitis (red, cracked, irritated skin), and ulceration. May cause allergic skin reactions.
Inhalation:  May cause pulmonary irritation, irritation of the mucus membranes, coughing, and a sore throat. Nausea, headaches, and vomiting may also occur. Inhilation of large doses may damage the tissues of the respiratory system resulting in chemical pneumontis and pulmonary edema.
Ingestion:  May cause severe burns to the mouth, throat, and esophagus. Thiourea is shown to be toxic via ingestion and shows the following systemic effects: hemorage and other adverse effects on the blood system (i.e. Anemia, bone marrow depression)
Chronic:  Chronic exposure to thiourea may cause tumors of the liver.

Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eyes:  Remove contact lenses. Flush with water or saline for 15 minutes. Get medical aid.. 
Skin:  Wash skin with soap and water for 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:  Immediately remove from exposure to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. 
Ingestion:  Do not induce vomiting. If  conscious, give 1-2 glasses of water. Get medical aid immediately.
