Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis. Onset may be delayed 2 to 4 hours or longer., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated
