1-24065786- The reporter indicates she may have been exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient dichlorvos. The caller indicates on the advice of a pest control company her employer used the product, an insecticidal strip, to control bed bugs. She, under the instructions of her employer placed the product in plastic bags with books and other materials to be sealed for a period of 72 hours. The strips were also hung in other areas of her workplace. The caller reports her skin did not come in contact with the product. Following removal from the plastic bags the items were returned to the workplace. The caller reported the product could be smelled in the workplace. Over the next two weeks she developed tingling skin, erythema, dermal irritation, ocular irritation, nasal irritation, and abdominal pain. She had seen a physician 09/08/10, two days prior to her initial contact with the registrant, for the reported symptoms. She was evaluated and discharged without treatment. She was advised by her doctor to not return to work for one week. The caller was advised the symptoms encountered were more consistent with dermal and respiratory irritation than potential toxicity. She was advised to continue to work with her physician to alleviate her discomfort. The caller did not provide her contact information for routine follow up. No further information is available.
