History: Caller was spraying the product in her windows to kill some spiders 25 min ago. She got some of the over spray on her face and some of the over spray blew back into her mouth from the wind. Is now salivating more than usual, and has throat irritation. Has drunk 2 glasses of water. Assessment: - Discussed with the caller: - Small ingestions of this product are unlikely to result in adverse health effects other than mild GI upset or the parathesia type symptoms. - Recommend milk or water to drink, ice cubes to suck on or something to eat.. - If nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea develops, replace lost fluids. - Wash your hands and face with soap and water. - If symptoms persist or worsen seek medical attention. - Please call back with any additional questions or concerns. Note: Based on the toxicologic profile of the product and the alleged contact/effect in the incident description, the symptoms alleged would be consistent with what would be expected from the described product contact.
