1-16640817: A reporter called on 09/16/2008 to report the exposure of her husband to a pyrethroid insecticide containing the active ingredient Lambda-Cyhalothrin. According to the reporter, the product was applied inside the home 90 days prior to the report and again on 09/09/2008. Her husband experienced what the reporter called "anaphylatic shock" with ocular swelling and tongue swelling on 09/10/2008 and 09/12/2008. The reporter stated that her husband was hospitalized overnight after the 09/10/2008 incident. He was hospitalized and remained hospitalized and under treatment for the 09/12/2008 incident at the time of the report. His treatment at the time of the report included IV fluids, steroids, and antihistamines. The reporter said that the attending physician would discharge her husband from the hospital with an epinephrine pen once the product was cleaned from the home. The reporter was advised that her husband's presumed reaction to the product is not expected with routine product use. A recommendation was made that detergent and water is typically all that is needed to remove the product from surfaces, however, the reporter was encouraged to call the customer service department for more specific product removal instructions. On follow up, the reporter stated that her husband's physicians thought his signs resulted from a reaction to the product. The reporter had her house cleaned, and her husband was discharged after six days in the hospital. At the time of follow up, her husband was feeling much better and was taking several medications. No further information was obtained. Note:A representative of the pest control company that had applied the product also called on 9/16/08 and had indicated that the patient had had an epileptic seizure (date unknown).
