Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the 1 h reading time point all three animals exhibited slight to obvious erythemas (grade 2) and very slight edema (grade 1). After 6‐8 days all animals had no symptoms.
Other effects:
In one rabbit scaling was evident at the treatment side after 6 days. Another rabbit exhibited eschar formation at the treatment site after 6 days. Both effects were fully reversible within 8 days.
