Caller stated that she was puncturing the ant trap as the instruction call for. Caller was using a sharp knife when it had slipped and lacerated the palm of her hand. The caller wanted to know if the pesticide in the product could be a problem since she was able to open the trap before she had cut herself. The operator fielding the call advised her to wash the exposed skin well with soap and water, then pat dry. No systemic effects expected from exposure. Monitor for infection.
