1-27149923- The reporter indicated her spouse had been exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredient Iron (Ferric HEDTA). 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. He visited the doctor and was given an oral antihistamine and his symptoms were improving at the point of the initial contact. The caller was advised rash and dermal swelling are not expected symptoms following known exposures she was advised to follow with his doctor to attempt to determine the cause of his hypersensitivity. On follow up the patient was spoken to. He indicated he had been to the doctor three times since he had developed symptoms his rash had spread to his legs and arms, he reported some improvement in his facial swelling. The caller was not reached for further follow up. No further information is available.
