1-40979553 - The reporter, a pest control operator, indicated that a customer was exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient chlorantranilprole. The reporter stated that her company applied the product in the customers home one day prior to initial contact with the registrant. Per the reporter her company strictly follows the label directions and they do not allow the customer to enter the home during spraying but the reporter is unsure how soon after the spraying was complete the customer went back in the home. The customer called the reporter on the morning of initial contact and indicated that she woke up with a rash, hives and swollen eyes. The customer believed her symptoms were from exposure to product vapors, no dermal contact was noted. The reporter was advised that there are numerous possible causes for an allergic reaction and medical attention was recommended due to the severity of the described symptoms. On follow-up call, six days later, the patient's spouse indicated that his wife had started a new medication and the doctor thought her reaction was due to use of this medication. No additional information is available.
