History: Caller was filling a crop dusting plane with the diluted product 1 hour ago and some of the liquid from the hose splashed onto his tongue, but not his face or lips. He has rinsed his mouth with water and washed his face with soap and water. The tip of his tongue is now tingling. Assessment: Discussed with the caller: - Skin exposure may cause a burning, itching, tingling, or numbness sensation as well as inside the mouth on the tongue or mucous membranes. - Symptoms typically develop soon after the exposure and resolve spontaneously within 24 hours. - Remove contaminated clothing and rinse exposed skin with running water for at least 20 minutes. - Recommend to suck on ice chips or drink cold water. - Consult a health care professional if symptoms persist for more than 24 hours. - Please call back with any additional questions or concerns.
