1-23999382- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates exposure of her animal and her self to an insecticide containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos and methoprene. The caller indicates she applied the product, a topical flea and tick spray, to her cat twelve hours prior to her initial contact with the registrant. The four year old five pound female domestic shorthair cat (Sub-form III, #1) had developed signs of ataxia, weakness and vomiting within thirty minutes of the initial contact with the registrant. The caller was informed this would be unexpected following routine use of the product according to the label instructions. She was advised to wash her animal with a non insecticidal shampoo and seek prompt veterinary care. On routine follow up the next day the reporter (Sub-form II, #1) indicated the animal was still weak and had vomited once that day. She had not brought the animal to the veterinarian. She also reported she had developed symptoms of ¿¿¿respiratory failure, slow heart rate, whole body paralysis, and numbness? the morning of the follow up. She had indicated her heath care aide had called 911. It was not clarified what care she had received but she commented she was at home and was ¿¿¿OK?. The reporter gave a disjointed history and indicates she was disabled from a gunshot wound she suffered two years prior. It was unclear if she was indicating her symptoms were related to an exposure. No further information is available.
