7/26/2008 The caller's son reportedly used the product as directed on 7/19/08. Product was applied on his clothes and body before he went fishing fishing. Later that day while he was standing in a river fishing, he lost consciousness and fell into the river. He was rushed to a local ER where they performed some unspecified tests and sent him home on unspecified medications. The patient then had another episode of on 7/22/08 where he was unable to move and his body was stiff. He was again rushed to a local ER, where the caller states the MD suggested that this may have been connected to the DEET in the repellent. The caller states that her son suffered from some type of unspecified cardiac muscle damage. The patient was not admitted to the hospital but was sent home with anti-anxiety medications and pain medications. The caller states that her son is still experiencing nausea, chest pain, weakness, and shortness of breath. 7/28/2008 Follow-up with patient¿s mother. She confirmed that her son was never actually admitted to the hospital. He has been to the ER twice over the past week for his recurring symptoms. She was only able to relate that she was told that her son's heart muscle is damaged somehow. The mother could not remember the actual medical term that described her son's heart problem. She relates that her son has used insect repellents on multiple occasions during his lifetime, typically when he goes fishing like he did on 7/19.
Majeure
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. The signs and symptoms reported in this case are not consistent with the known toxicology profile of the repellent product involved when it has been used in the manner described. The weight of medical and scientific data on DEET containing insect repellents found in the peer reviewed scientific literature does not support the notion that profound toxicity such as cardiomyopathy following routine repellent use is biologically plausible.
