5/17/2007 Caller bought product and used product on May 11. She doused walls and floor with product in her garage. She states that there were 10,000 ticks on the wall of the garage to the point where the wall appeared to be moving. She was in the enclosed garage and sprayed the product heavily in the area. She admits that the air was filled with airborne mist which she inhaled as she was not wearing any respiratory protection. She developed SOB, coughing over the following 24 hours, and eventually went to see her doctor who decided she needed to be admitted the hospital. She was hospitalized for 2 days for pneumonia.
