(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16817401: On 09/29/2008, a reporter (the Safety Coordinator for a pest control company) reported the exposure of a chameleon to a pesticide containing the active ingredient Permethrin. According to the reporter, the pest control operator (PCO) treated a home with the diluted product (0.05% solution) on 09/25/2008. The PCO was not made aware that the chameleon was present in the home prior to starting product application. The PCO treated exposed baseboards in the home. When the PCO noticed the chameleon in a room of the home, he closed the door to that room and discontinued product application. The room that the chameleon was in was not treated. The home owner was not present during product application so the PCO made a note regarding discontinuation of the treatment and left the home. According to the home owners, they returned to the home about 2.5 hours following product application. At that time, they noticed that the chameleon was ataxic and had its eyes partially closed. On 09/26/2008, the chameleon was having convulsions, gasping for air, and had fecal incontinence. By the end of the day on 09/26/2008, the chameleon had died and was found to have foam in its mouth. It does not appear that the chameleon was evaluated by a veterinarian after signs were noted. No further information was provided.
