5/30/2011 Caller states she is a biologist and she was inadvertently over-sprayed with the product on 3/10/11 as a farmer passed within 4 feet of her in a field while spraying. The caller states she developed a burning sensation in her throat within minutes after the exposure and states it subsided within 10 minutes, by sipping water. The caller states later that night a red, raised rash developed on her chest, despite removing all affected/contaminated clothing and laundering/ showering after the initial exposure. The caller saw her MD several days later and he was unsure of the etiology of the rash. No treatments or medications were prescribed by the doctor. The rash finally subsided around 5/23/11.
