1-25257910-The reporter indicates exposure to an insecticide containing the active ingredient phenothrin. The reporter indicates he had applied the product to his dog two days prior to the initial contact with the registrant. The reporter indicated the aroma of the product disagreed with him. He found the aroma so disagreeable he had to force his dog outside. He indicated he had also gotten the product on his hands, clothing and furniture. He reported he instantly noted nasal discharge/drainage and sleeplessness following application. The caller was advised of proper decontamination of the animal and himself. He was also advised how to clean the home/clothing. The caller was advised no harm would be expected following exposure to this aroma. He may have a unique sensitivity. On routine follow up the pet owner indicated he had not cleaned the animal to remove the aroma. He had allowed the animal back into the home. He stated he had a sinus headache for and nasal drainage for five days following application. He also indicated he had bloody discharge on his handkerchief when he blew his nose the day of follow up, but was unsure if that was related to the exposure. He indicated his symptoms were resolving spontaneously as the product aroma dissipated. No further information is available.
