The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. When considering the body of regulatory data and post-marketing data as well as the weight of scientific peer reviewed evidence on the active ingredient used in this product a definitive causal relationship cannot be established. The product use history lacks any description of a known or defined point of direct exposure to this product. Even had casual or incidental contact with this product occurred during application, the type of signs and symptoms reported by this patient are not consistent with the toxicological profile of the ingredients used in this product. This patient has a prior history of an anxiety disorder which would offer a reasonable clinical explanation for the appearance of the reported signs and symptoms.
