1-19116458: A reporter called on 07/09/2009 to report his exposure to an herbicide containing the active ingredient fluazifop-P-butyl. According to the reporter, he was using the product when the hose broke and sprayed him with diluted product. He developed a salty taste in his mouth that resolved when he brushed his teeth. He showered for 30 minutes and was asymptomatic at the time of the report. There was no ocular or oral exposure. The reporter was advised that the diluted product may result in skin irritation which should subside with irrigation. No other signs would be expected at this point following decontamination. No further information was obtained.
