1-26351928- The reporter indicates he has been exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient permethrin. The (age) male reporter indicates he applied the product to the kitchen in his home the same day of his initial report. He reported later in the day he attempted to vacuum the product with a vacuum cleaner which had a hole in the collection bag. He reports dust was airborne and breathed. He indicated respiratory irritation following the exposure. He also noted hypertension and headache. Lastly, his pacemaker defibrillator 'went off'. In response to his symptoms he called EMS. The emergency responders evaluated him and recommended he return himself to supplemental oxygen he currently uses. The reporter indicated he refused to be transported to the hospital by EMS due to personal financial constraints. The reporter indicated his symptoms had fully resolved at the time of his initial report. The caller was advised of the potential irritant effect of the product when encountered by the respiratory route and that symptoms associated with any respiratory irritant may be pronounced in individuals with underlying respiratory/cardiovascular disease like himself. He was advised avoidance of similar products would be appropriate due to his medical status. No further information is available.
