1-20577500: A reporter called on 10/30/2009 to report her exposure to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Pyrethrins. According to the reporter, she had been spraying the product 1 hour prior to the report. Within 15 minutes following product application, she developed tearing and a runny nose. The reporter was advised that inhalation of the product may result in irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract including cough, difficulty breathing, and shortness of breath. These signs are typically limited to the upper respiratory tract and do not lead to other problems. A recommendation was made to leave the area containing the fumes and move to an area with fresh air and adequate ventilation. A recommendation was made to seek medical attention should the signs persist. On follow up, the reporter stated she was fine but declined to provide any further information. No further information was obtained.
