(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-20500584: A reporter (horse owner) called on 10/22/2009 to report the exposure of her horse to an herbicide containing the active ingredient Pinoxaden and an herbicide containing the active ingredients Pinoxaden and Florasulam. According to the reporter her horse was in a pasture on 07/06/2009 and someone in a neighboring field was spraying the 2 company products and a non-company product (MCPA Ester 600). It was very windy during product application and the reporter could see the spray lift into the air and settle on the horse. The person spraying the products refused to stop product application, so the reporter moved her horse to a different area. By 07/09/2009, the horse developed pus-filled bumps all over his skin that looked like chemical burns. On 07/12/2009, the areas had become larger and there were 34-38 areas all over the horse's body. The horse was bathed several times and taken to the veterinarian. A biopsy revealed that the horse had sustained an allergic reaction to something and blood work indicated that his liver was stressed. The reporter indicated that the horse had fully recovered within 1 month. No further information was obtained.
Moderate
Both company products can result in skin irritation, however, the extent of the signs described is not expected. It is unknown what effect the non-company product may have contributed to the incident.
