1-45308691 - The reporter indicates an exposure to an herbicide containing the active ingredients mesotrione, glyphosate (present as potassium salt), and S-metolachlor and R-enantiomer. Approximately one month before initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated he was using the diluted product and may have gotten some of it on his hands, one of which had a cut. The reporter washed his hands soon after the exposure. For a three-week period right before initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated he had a constant burning and tingling sensation all over his body. He sought medical evaluation at an unknown time, but no diagnosis was given. The reporter was advised that the product may cause skin irritation which should resolve quickly after irrigation. The reporters symptoms would not be expected and he was encouraged to continue to work with his doctors. No additional information is available.
