Irritant / corrosive response data:
The skin of all three animals showed well-defined erythema and very slight to slight edema. The redness had decreased to very slight within 24 h in animals #2 and #3 and on day 3 in animal #1. The irritation was reversible within 7 days in two animals and within 14 days in one animal.
Other effects:
Signs of systemic intoxication were not observed in any of the rabbits throughout the observation period.
