Adult (age) year old male was working in his garden and sweet corn when the field adjoining his within several feet was sprayed during 15 mile per hour winds with Roundup WeatherMax. He was in the path of the wind and noticed a very strong smell but did not become wet with the product. He showered several hours later. He reports, soon after the exposure, he became "violently ill, with chest pain, headache, vomiting for 24 hours. He is now having tremors in his fingers and his breathing seems affected. He had a medical evaluation and was given a salmeterol inhaler. Blood testing was done. He was told that his eyes look like he was poisoned. Today every muscle in his body aches. Advised to continue under the care of PMD. MRPC is available to speak with MD if desired.
