History: Caller states he is calling on behalf of his (age) cousin who is complaining of dizziness and diarrhea that started this morning when he woke up. Caller states yesterday his cousin mixed product in an empty spray bottle, unknown exposure to product. Caller states cousin has been drinking fluids to replaced lost fluids and eating toast. Caller thinks cousin's symptoms could be from something he ate last night too. Caller is wondering if product could have caused his symptoms? Assessment: Not an anticipated result of application. If symptoms persist or worsen over the next 12-24hrs have patient seen by MD physician as I believe something else is going on. CB PRN. 07/30/07 Follow-Up Spoke to (name): He said that he still has some symptoms but they are slowly improving. He did not see an MD as things are improving. Close case Note: PMRA: Based on the toxicologic profile of the product and the temporal relationship to alleged contact/effect in the incident description, the symptoms alleged would be inconsistent with what would be expected from the described product contact.
