Lindane toxicity may lead to stimulation of the central nervous system {CNS} resulting in convulsion, cardiovascular collapse, rhabdomyolysis, renal insufficiency, respiratory and metabolic acidosis and death.

First Aid Measures:
Emesis is contraindicated because convulsions may occur soon. Do not give milk, fat or oils. Do not administer adrenergic amines, which may increase myocardial irritability. Control convulsions with appropriate drug regimen. Maintain a clear airway.
In case of ingestion, gastric lavage may be indicated, in severe cases, precede endotracheal intubation with a cuffed tube. Administer activated charcoal. Cathartics {not mineral oils} may be administered.
