1-34213749- The reporter indicated he had skin contact with a product containing the active ingredient Iron (Ferric HEDTA). The reporter, an (age) year old male, stated that while he was applying a weed prevention product, some product sprayed on his hands. He washed his hands two times following exposure. Since that time, he has experienced weakness, stumbling, his head feels odd or light-headed, and he tires quickly. He sought medical care with his physician who believed that the symptoms developed from a combination of advanced age, medications for non-specific heart problems, and high heat. The reporter was concerned that the product had been absorbed through his skin and was the cause of the described symptoms. He first contacted the registrant one week after exposure and following medical evaluation. The reporter was advised that skin contact could cause mild irritation, but the active ingredient is not absorbed through the skin and would not be expected to cause the systemic symptoms described. The reporter was further advised that future skin exposure should be treated with 20 minutes of washing to appropriately decontaminate. It was recommended that the reporter continue to work with his physician. No other information is available.
