Caller's father applied product on top of gasoline to treat a bayou on his property in [LOCATION]. This occurred on 7/3, he was working alone, and he was taken to local HCF in [LOCATION] where he was treated for SOB, "shakiness", HA. There he was tested with EKG and CT, and treated with steroids which have improved his breathing. Other symptoms are about the same, according to caller, and because HCPs are stymied, her father is being transferred to [LOCATION] for further eval and treatment. He is also inappetite, according to caller. He has asthma history. ASSESS: It would be helpful to establish name of product, and amt and concentration used. Length of exposure and pre-existing med history suggest likelihood of pulmonary complications secondary to described insults. Other symptoms may be secondary to this, or may have unassociated etiology. Called back and informed daughter that the "toxic combustion gases" are of no greater order than the gases rendered by combustion of gasoline. 07/07/07 Follow-Up Spoke with Daughter. She states that she just arrived at the HCF several hr ago and is still trying to establish what's going on with her father. He was just recently moved to ICU. CB not returned.
