Caller's husband developed abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and blood in his stools over the past 24 hours. There are unsure what is causing this but are wondering if the Raxil T he had worked with 5 days ago may be responsible. He states he spilled some of the material on his arms and was not able to wash off for 4 hours. He thinks that some of the material could have reached his hands and that he may have ingested some of the residue when he grabbed a pinch of tobacco to place in his mouth.He felt fine until yesterday.He has not seen a doctor.Assessment: Explained that the Raxil T is not likely the cause of this profound gastrointestinal illness, especially given that his illness did not begin until 4 days later and exposure by ingestion appears to be suspect at best. He was instructed to be seen in the ER right away.Follow up completed on 6/15 revealed that the patient had apparently recovered within 24 hours of the original call. He chose not to see a doctor for this condition.
