1-16724545: A reporter called on 10/09/2008 to report the exposure of her sister-in-law to a slug and snail bait containing the active ingredient Metaldehyde. According to the reporter, the subject applied the product 4 months prior to the report (06/--/2008). During product application, the subject had dermal contact with the product on her feet and may have inhaled some of the product. At an unknown time following product application, the subject developed dermal irritation from her feet to her knees. The subject was seen by her physician (unknown date), and a complete blood count revealed thrombocytopenia. At the time of the report, the subject had persistent skin irritation and was scheduled to see a specialist regarding the thrombocytopenia. The reporter was advised that dermal contact with the product may result in skin irritation, but 4 months of persistent skin irritation is not expected. The reporter was also advised that dermal or minimal inhalation exposure to the product would not result in systemic toxicity. In addition, the product is not expected to cause thrombocytopenia. A recommendation was made to have the subject continue working with her physician to determine the cause and appropriate treatment for her signs. On follow up, it was reported that the subject was feeling fine and was on prednisone for one week after an evaluation with an oncologist. No further information was obtained.
