1-29460782- The reporter indicates a family member may have been exposed to an insecticidal fungicidal product containing the active ingredients thiamethoxam, fludioxonil, and metalaxyl-m. The reporter indicates his (age) old (weight) pound daughter was working with a local seed plant where the product was being applied to soybean seed. She had come home that day from work with shortness of breath, headache, earache, fever and a nonproductive cough. He reported she had been exposed while at work but did not describe a discreet incident, nor did he describe any personal protective equipment that may have been used. She was reported not to have asthma but to have seasonal allergies. The caller was advised to seek medical assistance. Inhalation exposure (assumed) may yield transitory respiratory irritation in healthy individuals but many of her symptoms may be more consistent with a respiratory tract infection of some sort. The caller was provided product literature for a physicians independent evaluation. The reporter did not respond to follow up attempts. No further information is available.
