6/18/2009 Caller reports that two days ago product was applied by aerial spray onto a farm field for a grasshopper infestation 25 meters away from an airfield. Five employees were working at the airfield, and reported exposure to product that drifted from the application area. Two employees complained of a headache, skin irritation, respiratory irritation, and nausea within minutes of exposure. All of the employees washed their face and hands. The two symptomatic employees reported that their symptoms cleared within 12 hours. The other three employees remained asymptomatic.
