1-16977835: A reporter called on 11/26/2008 to report the exposure of two lizards and a pregnant dog to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Permethrin. According to the reporter, the product was applied to the outside perimeter of the home, a crawl space, and the laundry room of the home approximately one month prior to the report. The reporter left the home with the pets for two days following product application. One week following product application, both lizards (1st Subform III) died within one day of each other. The lizards were housed in separate terrariums and were not in direct contact with treated areas. Neither lizard had signs prior to death. The dog (2nd Subform III) whelped 11 puppies approximately 2 weeks after the product was applied. Two of the 11 puppies were born dead and were grossly malformed. The two dead pups were being stored in a cooler at the time of the report. The reporter was advised of the active ingredient in the product. The reporter was also advised that contact with dried treated surfaces will not produce clinical signs. A recommendation was made to discuss possible causes of the lizards' deaths as they did not show clinical signs. The reporter was advised that exposure to the product may produce neurologic signs, but no signs are expected with the scenario described. The reporter was informed that the active ingredient has not been shown to cause reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity. The reporter was also advised that exposure to toxins in general would not be expected to cause birth defects at the end of gestation. A recommendation was made to discuss necropsy with the dog's veterinarian to determine the cause of the puppies' deaths and disfigurement. It was reiterated to the reporter that the exposure described in this scenario is not expected to result in any clinical signs. The reporter called back on 11/27/2008 to clarify that the dog was only 1 week pregnant at the time of product application. She also mentioned that the dead puppies were still in a cooler. She inquired about necropsy reimbursement. The reporter was advised again that the active ingredient is not expected to cause reproductive toxicity. The reporter was provided the consumer service phone number to discuss possible reimbursement for necropsy services. No further information was obtained.
