1-23148401- The reporter calls to indicate he believes he has been exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredient atrazine. The caller indicates he was working with a sprayer (unspecified capacity or activity) and is concerned the gloves he was wearing as personal protective equipment may have inadequately protected him. He describes no discreet exposure but is concerned he may have gotten product on his hands. The caller reported he did thou roughly rinse his skin following the time he worked with the product. He now indicates, 12 hours later, he has awaken in the morning with symptoms of nausea and a described "burning sensation (pins and needles) on his skin from his chest to genital region". The caller asks if his perceived symptoms may be related to possible exposure. The caller was advised dermal irritation may be seen on the areas where the product actually made contact with his skin in the event of exposure. The symptoms in these circumstances are usually responsive to flushing the area with water and removing residue from the skin. That being said he was advised his symptoms were inconsistent with exposure. On routine call back two days later the reporter indicated he had seen a doctor. He reported his dermal symptoms had resolved but did not give a time line. He did report he still had mild nausea. The doctor had advised no specific care and indicated he should spontaneously resolve at home. No further information is known
Moderate
The symptoms are not consistent with exposure to pesticide involved (atrazine).
