The reporter indicated her husband had been spraying the product three days prior to her initial contact with the registrant. She did not describe a discreet exposure incident but indicated she was concerned he may have gotten the product on his face and arms. She reported he woke the morning after product use and had a swollen face and a rash on his arms and neck.
