5/22/2007 Caller's 4 year old son applied product excessively to his upper arms and lower legs 24 hours ago. Son was not bathed last night before going to bed, and slept with product on the skin. Son began to feel itching and caller noticed hives in the areas where product was applied several hours ago. Caller bathed son and has given son Benadryl, and is wondering what else he can do. Caller could not locate lot # on container. Parent was informed that hydrocortisone cream may be helpful to ease sxs and to see an MD if sxs should persist or worsen.

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 differential diagnosis for a skin condition of this nature would include multiple potential etiologies in addition to this product such as plant allergens, food, infectious pathogens, heat exposure, insect bites, etc. Skin patch testing would be required before labeling this product as the causative agent.
