CAUTION:
IPA has a low order of acute toxicity. It is irritating to the eyes, but not to the skin. Very high vapor concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat, and prolonged exposure may produce central nervous system depression and narcosis. Although IPA produced little irritation when tested on the skin of human volunteers, there have been reports of isolated cases of dermal irritation and/or sensitization. There have been a number of cases.where use of IPA as a sponge treatment for the control of fever has resulted in cases of intoxication, probably the result of both dermal absorption and inhalation.

The intentional ingestion of isopropanol, particularly among alcoholics or suicide victims typically result in a comatose condition: pulmonary difficulty, nausea, vomiting, and headache accompanied by various degrees of central nervous system depression. In the absence of shock, recovery usually occurred. Ingestion of IPA can cause liver poisoning, resulting in nausea and dizziness. People with sensitive skin should avoid using rubbing alcohol because it can cause dryness and peeling. This dryness can cause the skin to produce more oil, worsening the acne problem. It is also known to affect eyesight.
