The caller used the product on September 8th 2017. For the rest of that evening he was symptomatic. He is worried that he got the product on his skin and did not wash it off quickly enough. He is also worried he may have put his hand in his mouth. When he called in on September 9th he was asymptomatic. The Propharma agent said the described exposure is not expected to result in a toxic concern as it has a low mammalian toxicity and binds at a higher affinity to insect receptors. Little to no Imidaclorprid is systemically absorbed via dermal exposure. The product can cause respiratory irritation that can manifest as nausea or a headache. The agent recommended the caller contact his doctor if symptoms develop again as the severity is not expected.
