1-26551001- The reporter, an emergency medical technician, indicated a patient had been exposed to a pesticide containing the active ingredient metaldehyde. The reporter indicated he had just been called to the scene where an adult male patient had reported having applied the product to his residential lawn earlier the evening prior to his initial contact with the registrant. The patient had reported windy conditions during application and had felt he had inhaled dusts of the product. The patient reported he had developed symptoms of nausea, vomiting, sweatiness and salivation one hour prior to the initial contact with the registrant. The reporter was advised the signs seen would not be expected to be precipitated by inhalation of dusts of the product. The level of exposure following the described event would be expected to be insufficient to elicit a systemic effect. It was advised the patient be evaluated by a physician. On follow up the patient indicated he was admitted to the hospital (duration not clarified). He reported his doctors did not think his symptoms were related to his exposure to the product. He additionally experienced 'stroke like incoordination', vomiting and urinary incontinence. He reports he was given supplemental oxygen but does not know what additional was done for him. He reports he has been discharged and all symptoms have resolved but for ongoing fatigue. It was reiterated to the patient that the symptoms seen would not be expected following the described exposure. He was encouraged to continue to work with his doctor to determine the cause of his illness and the appropriate care. No further information is available.
