A Hydro One seasonal employee was applying Garlon RTU at the end of January for stump treatment. The employee was wearing the appropriate PPE and experienced, what was thought to be, an allergic reaction that lasted 3 weeks. The individual went to the emergency ward of the hospital and later visited his family doctor (week of Feb 21) who recommended the employee see an allergist ASAP. The employee was removed from working with Garlon RTU and after 3-4 days of exposure the symptoms began to subside.
