1-22037935: A reporter called on 03/24/2010 to report his exposure to an herbicide containing the active ingredient corn gluten meal. According to the reporter, he just realized that mice had created a nest out of the product in his car's heating ducts and that he had been driving around with the blower on and inhaling the product dust. The reporter states that he is more congested than usual and gets more headaches. At the time of the report, the product had been removed from the car by a mechanic. The reporter was advised that if there was a strong odor to the product, headache, nausea, and respiratory irritation may result. The signs are typically self-limiting and resolve with removal from the odor. The reporter was also advised that the product has low toxicity, and adverse effects may result from either the odor or the dust from the product causing respiratory irritation. A recommendation was made for the reporter to see his physician should his signs persist. No further information was obtained.
