1-33641432 - The reporter indicated that she was exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredients 2,4-D, Mecoprop-p and Dicamba. The reporter states she applied the product outside her home two times the most recent application was five days prior to initial contact with the registrant. No exposure through skin contact, inhalation or ingestion was noted at the time of application and the reporter did wear long sleeves and long pants while applying the product but two days after product application the reporter developed a rash that affected her arms, back, stomach and legs. The reporter had been taking Benadryl at higher than the recommended doses and applying hydrocortisone cream but the rash still persisted at the time of the initial call. The reporter also indicated that she just recently went to the doctor because her urine had turned orange and the doctor had performed a urinalysis and blood work. The reporter was advised that skin exposure may cause transient irritation and that there are several possible causes for a rash. The reporter was further advised that discolored urine is not consistent with exposure to the product. The reporter was advised to seek medical attention to find an underlying cause for her symptoms and appropriate treatment. The reporter responded that she would be returning to the doctor that same day. On follow-up call, three days later, the reporter indicated that she had been admitted to the hospital two days after initial contact and diagnosed with cancer. The reporter indicated that she did not feel her symptoms were from exposure to this product. No further information is available.
