Human Exposure/ Adverse Event- Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center reported that a nurse from a Hospital reported that a patient,, was out spraying his cattle when his ATV rolled on approximately 7/7/08. The tank of Atroban 11% poured on him and he laid in the Atroban for 4 hours. He has dermal exposure and chemical burns to his upper body. On July 13, 2008 he started having swelling in the jaw area. The size of his face has doubled during the night. RMPDC reported that it is unlikely that the swelling that occurred 6 days post exposure is directly related to the product and that they should check with the MD.
