1-40733494 - The reporter, a farmer, indicated that he was exposed to soybeans treated with a fungicide and an insecticide containing the active ingredients metalaxyl-m, fludioxonil and thiamethoxam. The reporter stated that two days prior to initial contact with the registrant he was moving treated soybeans with his bare hands and the following day he developed diarrhea and tingling all over. The reporter was advised that dermal contact may result in transient dermal irritation and diarrhea would only be expected if the product had been ingested. On follow-up call, two days later, the reporter indicated that his symptoms had improved. He also stated that he now thought his symptoms were due from exposure to a different, unspecified seed treatment. No additional information is available.
