1-34027586- The reporter, a farmer, indicates a worker he employs may have been exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin. The reporter indicated the adult male one week prior to the initial report may have gotten a few drops of the product on his skin and may have been exposed to some product vapor. The reporter did not describe if this occurred during application or in what other context the exposure may have occurred. The caller comments no exposure incident was observed and consequently no decontamination or washing had taken place. The caller reports the worker had noted symptoms that were thought to be attributable to a cold or respiratory tract virus before the possible exposure date, but the symptoms worsened after the usage date. The caller indicated the worker had flu-like symptoms for the week after the possible exposure. Symptoms were clarified as malaise, headache and achiness. The worker had been to the doctor and was told by the physician his symptoms were likely due to a virus. The caller was advised severity and duration of the symptoms described were not consistent with the expectations of the product. He was advised doctors assessment was likely correct and any recommendations made by the treating physician should be followed. No additional information is available.
