1-33939668 - The reporter, the lead nurse at the emergency room of (name), indicated that a patient was exposed to an herbicidal product containing the active ingredient Paraquat. The nurse reported that an adult female accidentally drank the product one day prior to initial contact with the registrant. The nurse believed the product had been placed in an inappropriate container and the patient ingested the product thinking that it was tea. The patient first presented to the emergency room at 11:57 am one day prior to initial contact and was administered activated charcoal and gastric lavage. At the time of initial contact, the reporter stated that the patients vital signs were stable and she looked fine although she had some remaining nausea. On follow-up call, one day later, the reporter indicted that the patient was doing well. On follow-up call, seven days later, the reporter indicated that the patient had some throat irritation, was monitored for a period of time but was then discharged from the hospital. The reporter was uncertain if the patient had actually been exposed to Paraquat. Twenty two days after initial contact the registrant received a call from the pesticide surveillance program in the department of pesticide regulation who stated that they had been notified that this patient was not discharged from the hospital but had suffered from worsening renal and respiratory function and seven days after initial contact was receiving dialysis. Fifteen days after initial contact the patient passed away. No further information is available.
