Respiratory Issues, such as shortness of breathe, Lesions on my lungs 0.5 cm and one that is 3.0 cm. Dizzy, nausea, generally ill feeling. Blurred vision, and burning in lungs. I was prescribed Nitro 0.4 mg, Respirmatt inhaler, rescue inhaler. I had a ct scan and now have lesions on my lungs and more difficulty breathing. I went to the doctor and have had ongoing health problems since. I now have heart problems and was already ill with emphysema and fibrosis when this occurred. They come regularly to treat my neighbors lawn, so it has been constant exposure there after. I have a chronic illness, Emphysema and Fibrosis in the lungs. After being exposed I have suffered greatly with chest pain, lung issues such as lesions on my lungs, and difficulty breathing. I had a burning in my eyes and skin. I felt nausea and was dizzy immediately after the incident. I tried to get the manager to send me the Msds sheets for treatment and he refused, as well he refused to give me notice when they were coming to spray the neighbors lawn. So I am constantly being exposed.

(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

Tremors, Seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated liver enzymes, pancreatitis, and renal failure and ataxia. Numerous Paw infections and skin lesions, loss of fur and coma like state, one dog had fluid in the lungs. They were prescribed phenobarbital, renal powder, benedryl, thermaderm cream an Gabapentin for pain. Totalling over $5000.00 dollars in medical treatment this past year. The dogs are in constant exposure due to Neighbors Lawn Care Service with (company). One time the wind blew and it left a red residue on them. The drift brings granules and mists over to our side of property. Front and back yard is contaminated. The neighbor uses the lawn service regularly and my dogs are constantly exposed, causing sore irritated paws, ataxia, seizures every time they do a treatment. Both my dogs nearly died three times in one year, and now we will be facing another year of exposure. I have taken all methods to try and protect them, but with constant unregulated spraying, the company refused msds sheets and to give me notice ahead when spraying. So they are still going through this on a regular basis.
