1-26974243- The reporter called to indicate exposure to an herbicide that contained the active ingredients MCPA, Mecoprop-p, and dicamba. The reporter indicated he was applying the product via a 'pull behind sprayer' thirty three days prior to his initial contact with the registrant. He did not describe the concentration of the product used nor did he describe the capacity in which he used the product. He described during the course of the application a spray nozzle either had broken or it malfunctioned. He looked behind him and was sprayed with the product along the left side of his face. He stated he immediately removed contaminated clothing and showered. The reporter indicated since the exposure he has noted an ongoing tingling sensation and irritation on the surface of his face. The reporter stated he had seen a doctor twenty days following the exposure and was told he had a 'mild burn' and it was recommended he use OTC Aloe Vera lotion and Vaseline to alleviate the discomfort. The caller was advised burns would not be expected following dermal contact with the product. He was, further, advised the duration of the signs seen would be unexpected to be related to the exposure described. It was recommended he follow up further with his doctor to determine the cause of his symptoms and the appropriate care. On follow up one week after his initial contact the reporter indicated the symptoms described were 'almost gone'. He did not indicate he had returned to the doctor. No further information is available.
