1-16395268: The reporter called on 7/14/08 to report a possible reaction to 2 products containing the active ingredients Azoxystrobin and Azoxystrobin plus Propiconazole. According to the reporter, the 2 products were used by someone else near his yard about 5 days prior to the call. The reporter stated that about 2-3 days after the product had been applied, he had developed a cough, nasal congestion and sneezing. He suspected he had inhaled the products as they drifted from the application site. The reporter had tried to use a nasal decongestant but it had not helped. A recommendation was made to see medical attention if the symptoms persisted or worsened as the symptoms would be neither typical not expected given the described exposure.
