1-30159110- The reporter indicated he had been exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredients 2,4-D, mecoprop-p, and dicamba. The reporter stated he had just been to a golf course just before the call and the groundskeepers were spraying the green with the product. The caller reports there was a wind and he encountered a taste he assumes was the herbicide. He reports he is not aware of any other exposure (eye, skin, etc). The caller had encountered nausea, throat irritation and abdominal pain in the 15 minutes following the exposure. The caller was advised no harm would be anticipated from this exposure. He was advised of symptomatic care at home and the threshold at which to see a doctor. On follow up six days later the caller indicated he has an intermittent head ache and side pain since the exposure but has not seen a doctor. The caller attributed his symptoms to nerves. No further information is available.
