(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

1-23026852- The caller, an animal owner, calls to report her animal was exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Ammoniated soap of fatty acids. The caller reports she had sprayed the product on a residential outdoor walkway two days prior to the initial contact with the registrant. The reporter indicates one day later the animal developed signs of facial swelling and diffuse dermal hives. The caller did not indicate a discreet or observed exposure. The animal may have walked through the area of application according to the caller. The caller was advised that this would be unexpected following known exposure. The animal likely has some unrecognized hypersensitivity. It was recommended she administer an antihistamine and consult a veterinarian to determine if further treatment was needed. The caller did not respond to attempts to follow up with her. Nothing further is known.
