7/3/2009 Caller states that on 6/30/09, her (age) son was splashed in the face with product, which had been mixed with two other herbicide products that she did not have the names of. He then attempted to rinse his face, not realizing that he was using the same herbicide mixture diluted in water to do so rather than plain water. Skin became red. No product was swallowed, but it may have gotten into his eyes. Caller then saw what he was doing and had him wash off with water and shampoo. The following day, son developed diarrhea, and today has had vomiting. Caller also suspects that he may just have the flu, since a number of other family members who were not exposed to the herbicides have been suffering from similar illness over the past week. 7/7/2009 Attempted callback to original caller. A message was left requesting follow up information. 7/8/2009 Attempted callback to original caller. A message was left requesting follow up information.
