1-22276301: A reporter (client employee) reported on 04/08/2010 the exposure of a male grower to an herbicide containing the active ingredient Clodinafop-propargyl. On an unknown date in the spring of 2009, the grower mixed the product with the non-company product Thumper and applied the combined products. He was wearing a Tyvex suit and rubber gloves during the application. Later on the day of product application, the grower developed a pruritic rash on his upper body and arms. One week later, he mixed the product with non-company Prestige and applied the combined products while wearing the same protective equipment. Following product application, the rash spread to the grower's entire body and the pruritis intensified. No further information was obtained.
