                                                  WARIJING

                            DO NOT inject into areas close to the hip, knee
                            or thigh bone. For buttocks injections, inject    the
                            antidote only into the upper outer portion of the
                            casualty's buttocks. This avoids hitting the nerve
                            that crosses the buttock. If this nerve-is hit, it
                            can cause paralysis.
                G. Inject casualty by applying firm even pressure to Injector until
                injector activates and pushes needle through clothes into injection
                site. Hold injector in place for at least 10 seconds. (You should     be
                able to feel the autoinjector activate.)
