1-16110134: The reporter called on 5/6/08 to report she had developed a rash 3-4 days after she had applied a slug and snail bait containing the active ingredient Metaldehyde. She had first noticed a rash on 4/28/08, and had applied the product on 4/24 or 4/25/08. She had spoken with her physician about the rash on 4/28/08 and he had suggested a possible contact dermatitis. By the time of the 5/6 call, the rash had progressed to pruritic hives/welts. The reporter inquired about dermatological affects related to the product, as she had remembered inhaling some of the dust while applying the product. The safety profile of the product was discussed (No expected dermatologic symptoms). A follow-up call on 5/14/08 revealed the reporter had been admitted to an ICU on 5/11 with breathing difficulties, but was expected to be discharged soon. Her symptoms had been diagnosed as being possibly related to a bronchial infection; the product was not suspected.
