Caller stated that he applied the product to one of his trees in the morning. 9 hours later his (age) year old daughter shook the tree twice and the mother of the child (name) told her to not shake the small tree ((name) did not know that the tree had been sprayed). She then came in and ate some food without washing hands. 2 hours after exposure, wife reports that daughter complained that she was experiencing nausea (like she was going to vomit). Child went to sleep 2.5 hours ago and seems fine. The operator who fielded the call informed the caller that it is unknown as to whether the symptoms were caused by exposure given the time frame. Follow up call denied.
