1-16428329: The reporter called on 7/22/08 to report his exposure the previous day to a product containing the active ingredient Carbaryl. According to the reporter, when he had used the product it had been attached to a hose. Some product had gotten on his right arm, so he had stopped and taken a shower. The affected area had become red and irritated, and the symptoms had persisted. The safety profile of the product was discussed in terms of dermal irritation. A recommendation was made to flush the area with water for 20 minutes, and to use cold compresses, Vitamin E or Aloe Vera. It was further recommended that the reporter should seek medical care if the symptoms persisted or worsened. A follow-up call revealed that the reporters symptoms had continued but were improving. The reporter had had several appointments with a physician and had been using an ointment. No additional information is available.
