Warnings
Very fragile tip, use with care, and as per leaflet, DO NOT apply pressure
Since the tips of applicators and pencils are small and standardised, there is less of a risk of excess being applied accidentally. Silver nitrate is a hazard due to its causticity, and is toxic when taken by mouth. However, absorption of silver nitrate through intact skin is negligible. Due to its chemical reactivity and the fact that it is metabolically highly refractory, there is a low risk of systemic toxicity if applied externally.
- Do not use near your eyes
- Do not use on genital warts
- Do not use on sensitive areas of your body
- Avoca is caustic (can burn) and can cause staining. Do not use
- Avoca over bathroom or kitchen fittings or carpets.
