15. Provide supplemental information here.

Inhalation of this product may lead to irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract as well as nausea, cough, headache, difficulty breathing, and shortness of breath. Nausea could progress to vomiting. After the product was used the patient should have vacated the house for several hours. Upon return, she should have ventilated the home for several hours. Removal of the patient from the fumes and ventilation of the house is usually all that is needed with a resp irritant. Symptoms usually resolve within the 30 minutes or so of being in fresh air. Should symptoms persist, adding portable fans until the odor has dissipated is recommended along with washing treated surfaces with an appropriate household cleaner. Patients who smoke or have underlying respiratory conditions may experience more pronounced symptoms that require medical attention. The initial nausea/vomiting may or may not have been related to the product; however, the subsequent symptoms are unlikely to be related to her exposure.
