1-25439480- The caller indicates possible exposure of a family member to an insecticide containing the active ingredient carbaryl. The reporter indicates they are a ¿¿¿distant in-law? of the patient, a female of unknown demographics. The family member had indicated the patient was hospitalized with the symptoms of muscle weakness in the legs and hands. She also had loss of bladder control. The caller indicated the patient had used the product (which was not identified with any certainty) at an unknown time frame in her home on the flooring in sufficient quantity to be visible on her bedding. On routine follow up the caller indicated the family member/patient was still in the hospital (ICU). She had been diagnosed with ¿¿¿trouble with her antibodies? according to the caller. The caller indicated the treating physician had indicated the product may have played a role in development of symptoms, but was not the primary cause for the patient¿¿¿s illness. The caller was advised that this product was not designed or labeled for indoor use. On yet another call back the reporter indicated the patient was out of the hospital and had been diagnosed with an ¿¿¿autoimmune disorder?. Medication had been dispensed and the patient is being referred to a neurologist. No further information is available.
