Important information:
Avoca is caustic and can burn healthy skin. Do not use near the eyes, on genital warts or on sensitive areas of the body. Avoid contact with healthy skin, clothing, furniture and other surfaces, as silver nitrate can cause black or grey staining, which may be permanent on materials.
