5/31/2007 Caller's 3 year old grandson had product applied to his arms, legs, and neck 2 days ago. Child was not bathed after returning home or the following day. During the afternoon the day after application, child developed hives on his skin. Hives developed on arms, legs, torso, and face. Child was bathed after sxs developed, and has been given Benadryl and had hydrocortisone cream applied to help ease sxs. Caller was informed that this is not an expected reaction to product use. Would not anticipate sxs developing in areas that did not contact product. Recommended that she continue applying hydrocortisone cream to help ease sxs, and to see MD if sxs should persist or worsen. CB with any further questions. Follow-up 6/1/2007 Callback- Caller stated that her son's symptoms are still persisting but getting better.

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 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. Given that the hives were most pronounced in regions not treated with the insect repellent makes the repellent an unlikely causative agent.
