9/8/2011 Caller had been using the product at the end of July 2011 and the beginning of August 2011, and developed an itching rash on his ankles, legs, arms, neck and head. Caller originally thought the symptoms may be due to poison ivy, as a companion had poison ivy at the same time. The symptoms have persisted thus he is seeing a doctor. 9/12/2011 Callback to the original caller for follow up information. The symptoms are improving, and only a couple of patches are left that are healing. Caller did not wish to talk further. He indicated he received treatment from his doctor but did not wish to discuss further.

The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. The differential diagnosis for a skin or allergic condition of this nature would include multiple potential etiologies which, in addition to this product, include such factors as plant allergens, insect bites, heat rash, mold, food, infectious pathogens, medications, dietary supplements, etc.. Target allergy testing would be required before labeling this product as the causative agent.
