1-16232648: The reporter, an operator from a poison center, called the registrant on 6/4/08 to inquire about an herbicide containing the active ingredient Mesotrione. According to the reporter, a male patient had been using the product the previous morning (6/3), and by the afternoon of that day had begun to feel ill. He complained of nausea and vomiting, and was still not feeling well the morning of the call. Per the reporter, the patient was wondering about the safety profile of the product ¿ specifically dermal or inhalation exposure. The patient had already taken a shower and was being examined at a physician¿s office. The safety profile of the product as a potential irritant was discussed. First aid information for skin irritation was offered. No follow-up information is available.
