History: Every spring she gets ants and this year she sprinkled the product out into the ducts in her house. She did that and it killed all of the ants. Within the last 2-3 months she started getting sick. She started having problems with her memory and was blacking out for short periods of time. One night in the middle of the night she jumped out of bed in pain. A couple nights later she had a headache and thought she was going to have an aneurysm. She took one ASA and that didn't help. She took another 2 a couple of hours later and called her daughter. She took her to the MD and her BP was 240 over something high. Friday night (8/10) she was very weak and went to her daughter's apartment and about 2 hours later she started feeling much better since she was out of the house. Her daughter came over later and said that something smelled funny in the house. She is worried about her internal organs being poisoned by this product. She correlated the product causing her to be ill when she realized she felt much better when she was out of the house. They have had the ducts cleaned out and she feels much better now. She has remained asymptomatic since the ducts were cleaned. Assessment: - This is not an expected result of product use in the home - Would not expect the product exposure to have caused the symptoms you've described - Happy to hear you are feeling better - Please have your MD call with questions about the product. - Callback with additional questions/concerns Note: Based on the toxicologic profile of the product and the alleged contact/effect in the incident description, the symptoms alleged would be inconsistent with what would be expected from the described product contact.
