1-26730746-The reporter indicated a co-worker had been exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin. The reporter had indicated his adult male co-worker had spilled the concentrated product on his belly area within the past hour and one half. The exposed individual had gone home immediately following the exposure to wash the spilled product off his skin, however, it a had taken thirty minutes for him to get home to effectively decontaminate and remove contaminated clothing. The reporter indicated the co-worker was at the time of the call itching his skin, feeling hot, and his face was flushed. The caller disconnected the call before effective treatment advice could be offered. When he was contacted again by phone he indicated he was taking his co worker to the hospital and again disconnected. On routine follow up two days later the reporter indicated his co-worker had recovered within twelve hours. He did not see a physician despite the previous communication. No further information is available.
