1-34066004- The reporter indicated he may have been exposed to an herbicidal product containing the active ingredient corn gluten meal. The reporter indicated he had applied the product to his residential lawn. He stated later four hours after mowing his lawn he was experiencing vomiting and diarrhea. The caller did not clarify when he had applied the product or by what route he was exposed. It would not be typical to apply the product and mown the lawn later the same day so it is assumed he applied the product some time earlier. It would not be expected that vomiting and diarrhea should be experienced following contact with an application site or following routine product use. This caller was not reached for follow up. No additional information is available.
