To be determined by Registrant

18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Though application site pruritus and agitation may reflect paresthesia caused by permethrin, however time to onset is unknown. Other causes should be considered. Death not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Very low level of information (age, medical history and time to onset unknown - necropsy not available) as the intent of the phone call to Bayer was to ask if the remaining product could be used on a new pet, and not to report the death of the patient. Other etiologies more probable. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Time to onset is very long (7 years). Considering all aspects, product connection deemed to be unlikely.
