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. The toxicological profile of this product is such that even with incidental skin contact or accidental inhalation, there would not be an expectation of any cerebrovascular complications. The patient's treating doctors ruled out involvement of the pesticide in this illness.
