1-30444695 - The reporter indicated a possible exposure to an herbicide containing the active ingredient iron. The reporter indicated she had applied the product to her lawn about one month prior to her initial contact with the registrant. The reporter indicated exposure may have occurred about one month ago when she was weeding the yard; but she is not sure if she weeded before or after product application. She reported that for the past month she has been experiencing some swelling between her fingers and some skin discoloration. She has seen her doctor for her symptoms who reportedly indicated that the inflammation in her hand is likely from 'other things'. The reporter was advised of transitory irritation that may follow topical exposure. Ongoing and persistent inflammation would not be expected. She was advised to follow up with is physician. No further information is available.
