1-34610718 - The reporter, a crop insurance provider, indicated that he was exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredient glyphosate. The reporter stated that ten minutes prior to initial contact with the registrant the crop that he was in was sprayed with this product and after the application he had to walk back through the wet field. At the time of initial contact the reporter indicated that he felt hotter than normal. The reporter was advised that the product has a wide margin of safety but dermal contact to the wet product may cause transient skin irritation. A thorough rinsing was recommended to help prevent skin irritation. On follow-up call, one day later, the reporter indicated that his face and lips were red and irritated. Topical application of vitamin E or aloe products was recommended to relieve the irritation. No further information is available.
