The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. The differential diagnosis for a skin condition of this nature would include multiple potential etiologies in addition to this product such as plant allergens, food, infectious pathogens, heat exposure, insect bites, etc. Skin patch testing would be required before labeling this product as the causative agent.
