1-26961962- The reporter called to indicate he had been exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient lambda cyhalothrin. The reporter indicated he had mixed and sprayed the diluted product over the course of a twelve hour time frame five days prior to his initial contact with the registrant. He indicated he cleaned the sprayer three days later. The caller did not describe the capacity in which he had used the product nor did he describe the use of any personal protective equipment. The caller stated he did not believe he had gotten any of the product on himself. He did not describe a discreet exposure incident. The reporter indicated four days following application he developed stomach cramps and the day of his initial contact (five days after application) he had developed lightheadedness. The reporter was advised to consider other potential causes for his current illness and seek medical advice if the symptoms worsened or persisted. The symptoms and time line seen are inconsistent with the toxicity profile of the product and active ingredient. The caller was not reached on follow up attempt. No further information is available.
