1-24894637: The reporter called on 12/7/10, indicating he had used a miticide product containing the active ingredient Abamectin two weeks prior to the call. The product had been used one time only - diluted with water and sprayed from a spray bottle. The reporter stated he did not believe he got any product on his skin during application; however, he had recently developed a rash. The rash had spread up his right forearm to his shoulder, as well as on a portion of his face. He also stated that a small rash was present on his penis. The reporter speculated that he got the product on his hands and transferred it to other parts of this body. During the call, the reporter was instructed about the safety profile of the product. It was discussed that the symptoms were likely unrelated to the product, given: a) no clear evidence of exposure and b) the time lag between product application and the onset of the rash. A recommendation was made to follow up with a dermatologist to rule out other causes for the rash.
