NOTES:
* Mild reactions may be seen at ~ 20 mg/kg
* Moderate to severe reactions may be seen at doses over 40
mg/kg
* Cardiotoxicity may be seen at ~ 50 mg/kg
* Seizures are possible at doses over 60 mg/kg
* Any dose over 40 - 45 mg/kg should be considered potentially
life-threatening
* 100 mg/kg is the LD50, meaning that at this dose half of the
animals will die; animals can die from exposures well below the LD50
