5/7/2007 Caller states that near the end of Feb. and then in the beginning of March he had his house sprayed by a PCO two times with the product. The carpets and different rugs in the house were saturated with the product. He came back into the house and since that time has developed symptoms including Gastritis, headache, abdominal pains, muscle spasms, constipation, anorexia and weight loss of 20 lbs. He is very weak already from his disability and this is making him worse. He has been in and out of the hospital 8 times (apparently 8 different hospitals). He states he can still smell material in his home, although no one else who has come into the home can smell anything. He has been hospitalized for almost 2 months straight now and the last time he was home was for 2 hours - this exposure put him back in the hospital. He did have his house professionally cleaned one time, but this did not help. Patient was advised that his myriad of symptoms are not expected from the routine use of this pesticide in his home and that if he believes there is a link between the pesticide and illness, he should seek an comprehensive evaluation by an ABMT Board Certified Medical Toxicologist who would be most qualified to assess an illness he believes is related to an exposure to a pesticide.
