Following-up with caller June 29/07, caller commented that after he had thought about it, he "realized" there had been a virus going around at the time of the complaints and even he and some of his office staff (he also has a separate business) who had no Axial exposure had experienced similar symptoms. He then continued to say that he was sorry that he had reported the incident because he is now convinced it was virus-related. Caller politely made it clear that there was not need for Syngenta to investigate the incident further, that everyone was fine, and his workers' symptoms subsided a few days after spraying was completed.
