1-20781131: A reporter called on 11/19/2009 to report his exposure to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Dichlorvos. According to the reporter, the product was applied inside his van on 11/17/2009. He got into the van on 11/18/2009 and developed nausea, lip tingling, eye twitching, and flushed skin. He removed the product from the van and opened the windows. Just prior to the report, the reporter got into the van again and experienced the same effects, but to a lesser degree. The reporter was advised that the odor of the product may result in signs of nausea, headache, and respiratory irritation. The signs are typically transient and subside with removal from the source of the odor. A recommendation was made to ventilate the van by leaving the windows open and running a fan if necessary. Surfaces may be washed with a household cleaner. A recommendation was also made to seek medical evaluation should the signs persist or worsen. An attempt at follow up was unsuccessful. No further information was obtained.
