8/7/2013 Caller applied product to his lawn 10 days ago while wearing flip-flop sandals. Following the application he began to develop a rash on his feet and legs an unspecified period of time later. Caller cut the grass 3 days ago, and the rash became worse. Caller saw a doctor and was diagnosed with an allergic reaction. He was prescribed topical hydrocortisone cream for treatment, and the rash has been improving. He has an appointment with a dermatologist next week.
