Caller states this product was sprayed on the wrong field/farm. His neighboring farmer was spraying crops on 7/3/07 approx 7-9pm while he was outdoors on his farm. Was exposed to overspray for approx 30 minutes, 12 hours ago. When caller woke this am developed ringing in his ears, "head in a fog", incoordinated and not very alert. Caller states he does not have a HCP because he is a believer in God's power of healing and relies on his god to help him, not physicians. Assessment: After reviewing the products in our database these Tilt products may cause irritation. Exposure to high vapor levels may cause headache, dizziness, numbness, nausea, in-coordination, or other central nervous system effects. Due to symptoms described my recommendation is a consult with HCP. I understand your position however my recommendation still stands.
