1-24798979- The reporter indicates exposure of a friend to an herbicide containing the active ingredients Mecoprop-p, 2,4-D, and Dicamba. The reporter indicated his (age) male friend had, in an apparent self harm attempt, ingested an unknown amount of the product within twenty minutes of his initial contact with the registrant. The exposed individual was observed on the ground and described as quite groggy at the point of the initial contact. The caller was advised of the expected irritant effect of the product, but that significant harm would not be expected. He was advised to seek prompt medical attention due to the nature of the call, the symptoms observed, and because many self harm attempts may involve co-ingestions. On routine follow up two days later the reporter indicated his friend was in the hospital. He was reported to have been on a respirator? for at least 24 hours but was now alert and awake. According to the friend the patient was being transferred to a mental institution?. The reporter also indicated the patient had been taking Klonipin the night prior to the report. The reporter gave contact information for the (name) where the patient was being treated for further follow up. Following several attempts follow up was obtained from the (name) nurse attending to the patient at the time of transfer to a long term care facility. It was reported the patient was physically well but tearful and lethargic at transfer. It was revealed that a drug screen at presentation on 11/24/10 revealed benzodiazepines, amphetamine, methamphetamine, and marijuana in the patients system. No further information is available.
