1-30492041-The reporter indicated a coworker had been exposed to a rodenticide containing the active ingredient brodifacoum. The caller, a manager at a retail store, had reported a coworker had handled the product the day prior to the initial report. He did not provide label information that may definitively identify the product such as full name or registration numbers. He did not clarify the body surface exposed but it was inferred to be dermal exposure of the hands. The caller did not clarify the duration of the exposure or any decontamination that may have followed the exposure. The reporter indicated his coworker was experiencing flu-like symptoms the day of the report. The reporter was referred to the medical service for the registrant for assessment of the exposure. The reporter did not follow up with the medical service. The reporter was not reached for follow up. Dermal exposure of this product would not be anticipated to elicit flu-like symptoms. The time line indicated is inconsistent with the toxicity profile of the active ingredient. No further information is available.
