Caller states he mixed and applied the product on his farm on June 9. Caller does not recall exposure but speculates that product may have contacted his skin during tank mixing, and spray mist may have contacted his skin and/or he may have inhaled vapors. 1 day after application he began to experience
a dizzy unbalanced feeling and blurred vision after drinking one beer. He had difficulty walking. He felt he was not thinking right. 2 days after application the sxs persisted and he developed a headache, so he went to ED. He was given a CT scan and unspecified blood work. His BP was high and he was referred to his own doctor. He saw his own doctor the following day, 3 days after application, and his BP was normal. His sxs persist as of June 14 although they are better.
Follow-up on June 19, 2012
