Mean oedema score after 24 and 48 (72 h reading is missing); (animal1/animal2)

 1 h  2/3  2/2  -/-  2/2.5
 4 h  3/2  2/2  -/-  2.5/2

3 min exposure: 24 h after application slight erythema was observed and 1 animal showed distinct edema. At the end of the observation period of 8 days the irritations eased under scaling.

 

1 h exposure: immediately after exposure wide spanning erythema and distinct spanning oedema were observed. After 24 h parchment-like necrosis was noted. At the end of the observation period of 8 days, persistent edema and leathery-like necrosis was observed. This is considered to be a full thickness necrosis.

 

4 h exposure: immediately after exposure necrosis and wide spanning oedema was noted. At the end of the observation period of 8 days irreversible necrosis was observed. This is considered to be a full thickness necrosis.
