Grower complained of stomach cramps and diarrhea next day after spraying. He went to a local clinic/hospital in (name) and saw a doctor. The doctor suspected flu, but asked what he had sprayed just to be sure there was no other factor affecting his condition. After recieving the initial call from the grower, IPCO followed up with calls to both the grower and hospital/doctor. The grower was feeling much better (June 17th/10) and the doctor felt the grower simply had the flu.
