3 employees began experiencing eye irritation in the early afternoon after broadcast application throughout the day. The sweat and mist entered eyes without eye protection or sweat bands to prevent sweat from entering into eyes. The employees were instructed to use the eye wash and rest until feeling better. At approximately 6pm they were driven to a health facility to be checked by a physician. After waiting 2 additional hours, one employee left prior to seeing a doctor. The other two employees were treated. One of the employees only felt irritation after poked in the eye by an aspen leaf. He left after 3 hours of waiting. He was asked repeatedly if he wanted morphine, he did not feel that morphine was appropriate for his injury.
