Caller states her spouse was exposed to the spray of Roundup when the wind shifted during spraying about 1 year ago. No mask was worn. No calls to the MRPC at the time of the exposure. He has had problems with his breathing and nose bleeds since then. The man bathed after the exposure. He had diluted the Roundup 2 quarts in 25 gallons of water. Since that time he has had bronchitis. 15 days later he had a nose bleed that bled 5-6 times/day for over a week. The man has a long standing history of nose bleeds since childhood. The ENT MD performed a cauterization. He remained flat on his back for several weeks using nasal gel and antibiotics. About 6-7 wks ago, the man became ill and went to the MD and was given levaquin for treatment of pnuemonia, although his lungs were clear. He got better, when the levaquin ran out, his symptoms got worse. He was given prednisone and cough syrup for bronchospasm. His lungs are clear per CXR. When the steroid was gone he got worse again. He is now seeing a pulmonary specialist and given more antibiotics and now has a fever. MRPC discussed the product toxicity. The symtpoms do not correlate with the expected response to the product. Remain under the care of MD. MRPC is available to speak with MD if desired.
