6/13/2012 Caller works in a retail store, and was handling a container of the product along with a few other products last week. Caller was wearing gloves, and does not recall any spill or release of the wet product. Caller developed paresthesia on his arms and face, and a tingling sensation in his mouth the same day. Caller washed the affected areas with soap and water after symptoms developed, and the paresthesia subsided. Caller still feels the tingling sensation in his mouth.
