Caller stated that she had mixed the product up into an RTU bottle. During the application she was up on a ladder when the bottle fell off the sprayer falling to the ground and spilled around her honey suckle vine. She initially had phoned into the consumer line for information on how to clean the product up, however as she was talking to the third party operator, her lips began to tingle. Caller states that there is no possible way that she could have gotten the product on her lips. The operator that fielded the call advised her to flush skin with soap and water and if irritation persists to seek medical attention. On May 20 the operator followed up with the exposed consumer and the symptoms had resolved.
