Caller states a family member has been sick for about a week with breathing problems. He has been to the hospital and had prednisone and other drugs prescribed without improvement. COPD was diagnosed. The man has had some breathing issues in the past, but his symptoms got worse suddenly and quickly. About a week or two ago, the man accidentally got an unknown concentrate Roundup, diluted for use, on his skin. It splashed over the front of him and his face. He took a shower immediately. His symptoms began about one week later. No known cough or choke at the time and no other symptoms noted at the time of the exposure. MRPC discussed the product toxicity. The symptoms do not correlate with the expected response to the product. Advised to continue under the care of MD.
