The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. Any relationship between the use of this product and development of a severe and fatal illness is inconceivable and lacks and biological plausibility. Secondly, the product use history is extremely vague and lacks any description of a known or defined point of direct exposure to this product. Even had the dog ingested material that had been sprayed with this insecticide, an active concentration of borax at 7.7% would not be expected to lead to severe illness. Finally, the dog was never evaluated by a veterinarian to determine the cause of illness.
