October 5, 2009 Caller states that in July 2008 he placed a bottle in a sealed plastic bag in his yard at the base of a tree. Caller is concerned as product was sitting in the sun all summer. He believes product may have somehow seeped through bottle and bag when it got warm resulting in vapors being blown through an open window of their house. He states that about 1-2 months later, his wife developed blisters on her neck and face. She also started experiencing memory loss. She went to her doctor when her symptoms started and was referred to a specialist. The specialist prescribed Fucidin H cream. Her blisters resolved within a few days, however the blisters have redeveloped sporadically since then, always resolving within a few days. Wife was then sent to a psychologist for memory loss and was prescribed an unknown medication.

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. There is absolutely no physical possibility by which this patient could have experienced an exposure to this herbicide through a sealed plastic container. The speculative exposure scenario described by this reporter is inconceivable. Any relationship between the this stored product and the delayed and sustained development of the complications reported in this case is inconceivable and lacks any biological plausibility.
