8/28/2012 French Interpreter required. Caller states he began using the product 1-1/2 week ago outdoors. He has been spraying a nest on his balcony. He states spray drift may have gotten onto him. He has used 4 cans of product over he past 10 days. Yesterday he noticed blood in his spit so he stopped using the product. He has not had any coughing or respiratory symptoms. He has had burning in his stomach that he feels is unrelated because he thinks he had this prior to using the sprays. He is asking if this bleeding is from the product. Blood is still present today in his saliva but in lesser quantity. Caller was instructed to see a physician for an immediate evaluation. 9/4/2012 Follow-up was attempted. A message was left requesting that the consumer call back with an update on his status. Consumer has not returned the follow-up call as of 9/18/2012.

The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. Any relationship between the use of this product and the development of the complication reported in this case lacks biological plausibility especially given the absence of respiratory symptoms. Based on post-marketing experience with accidental oral exposures to this type of pesticide, oral bleeding is not a consistent or well characterized outcome. It seems more likely this patient's problem may be connected to the stomach problems he had prior to using this pesticide.
