Caller reported on 6/2/2007 that her husband developed confusion, disorientation, and general malaise over the previous 5 days. He had been using the insect repellent in an unspecified manner daily for the previous 10 days while working outside. He would shower at night before going to bed. He was seen by his doctor on 6/5/2007. Follow diagnostic testing consisting of a CT scan revealed that he was suffering from a brain tumor. He eventually had surgery to remove the tumor on 6/16/2007, after which his cognitive ability has shown gradual improvement. His treating doctors have indicated that as with most tumors, they will not be able to determine the cause. These doctors have not implicated the insect repellent.

15. Provide supplemental information here.

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 acute use of an insect repellent over a 10 day period would not result in the formation of a brain tumor so quickly. The patient's tumor likely developed and progressed for several weeks, months, or even years prior to his use of this insect repellent and before the onset of clinical manifestations in early June 2007.There is no scientific data in the peer reviewed scientific literature that has shown that DEET containing insect repellents are carcinogenic or tumorgenic at levels equivalent to what is used in personal use insect repellents despite having such repellents used by millions of individuals over the past several decades.
