1-21996351: A reporter called on 03/22/2010 to report his exposure to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Permethrin. According to the reporter, the reporter's friend sprayed the product along with an unspecified non-company product in a room for 45 minutes on 03/21/2010. The reporter slept in the room that night and developed nausea, dizziness, and a migraine. The signs were persistent at the time of the report. The reporter was advised that inhalation of this product may lead to irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract as well as cough, difficulty breathing, and shortness of breath. Adverse health effects are typically limited to the upper respiratory tract and resolve without affecting other body functions. A recommendation was made to move to fresh air and away from the source of the fumes. Patients who smoke or have underlying respiratory conditions may experience more pronounced symptoms that require medical attention. Inhalers or nebulizer therapy indicated for acute respiratory symptoms may be used in the prescribed manner as symptoms dictate. A recommendation was made to seek medical attention if the symptoms do not resolve. An attempt at follow up was unsuccessful. No further information was obtained.
