The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. There are several environmental factors that may affect a patient¿s underlying asthma condition not excluding airborne chemical sprays, although in this case, there does not appear that the patient was directly exposed to liquid airborne spray. Sometimes, what is perceived as an unpleasant odor may affect an asthma condition, especially if the patient develops a significant amount of anxiety related to their exposure to the odor.
