1-30089299- The reporter indicted her spouse was exposed to a pesticide containing the active ingredient metaldehyde. The caller reported her husband was applying the product by hand earlier the same day of her initial contact. He was at the time of the call experiencing symptoms of nausea, rapid heart rate, and perspiration. The caller was advised dermal contact with the product would not be expected to elicit the symptoms described; he should seek immediate medical assistance. Three days later follow up was obtained. The caller reported her husband was seen at the emergency room where he was found to have an irregular heart rhythm. Medication was administered and he had follow up planned with a cardiologist to address the finding. The symptoms seen are inconsistent with the expectations of the active ingredient. No further information is available.
