1-15766311: The reporter called on 2/7/08 to report that he had been exposed to a product which contains the active ingredient Permethrin. The reporter was at work during the time of exposure (2/7), spraying the product which had been diluted prior to use. According to the reporter, there was a pinpoint hole in the plastic line and as a result some of the product was sprayed into his eye. The reporter stated he rinsed his eye for several minutes and then went home and showered to rinse the eye some more. At the time of the call, 2 hours had elapsed from the exposure and the reporter still felt as if he had some of the product in his eye. First-aid recommendations were made and included additional rinsing of the eye, refraining from the use of over the counter eye drops, and seeing a physician if the symptoms lasted for more than 6 hours. On follow-up a message was left for the reporter, but no response was ever received.
