1-16531358: The reporter called on 8/15/2008, to report exposure to an herbicide with the active ingredient Glyphosate. According to the reporter, he had been spraying the product for two months prior to the call. On approximately 8/1/2008, the reporter got the product all over himself including some in his mouth. The report did not shower immediately after exposure to the product. Later that day, the reporter developed a headache, dizziness and nausea. The reporter stated that every time he used the product, he developed the same symptoms and vomited the last two times of product use. The safety profile of the product was discussed including the fact that small ingestions of the product are unlikely to result in adverse health effects other than mild GI upset. Recommendations were made to replace fluids from nausea and vomiting with milk or water. If symptoms persist it was recommended that the caller seek medical attention. No further information was provided.
