Caller states she used Roundup concentrate (unknown formulation) about 4-5 weeks ago. No actual dermal contact. Wore gloves that went almost to her elbow. The caller states that she was very careful not to get any on her skin but wonders if Roundup vaporizes. She was also on antibiotics for a couple of weeks about this time. She has a rash on both arms from her wrist to just past her elbows. The MD has given her 2 medicated lotions to use. MRPC discussed the product toxicity. The symptoms do not correspond with expected response to the product. MRPC advised caller to follow up with PMD. Woman called back the next day for further reassurance. She states she used the Roundup product at the end of June. No dermal exposure. She developed a splotchy red rash on both forearms from wrist to elbows after a two week course of antibiotic- amoxicillin for an infection. MD has taken a biopsy but no result. She has several topical medications being used at this time. MRPC reviewed that the symptoms are not expected to be related to the use of the product. Discussed other possible cause for symptoms. MRPC offered to speak to the MD if any questions about Roundup.
