9/18/2013: Caller states that he lives next to a farmer, whose field reaches the limit of caller's garage. About around August 1, the farmer applied a mixture of the products to an area just behind the garage. That day, caller approached the area, and found that he could smell a chemical odor. He then left the area. He has since had shortness of breath and little endurance. He also has itching on his chest when he walks quickly, and feels like he has needles in his chest. He was seen by MD about 2-3 wks ago, and had pulmonary function tests performed on 9/13. Tests have been inconclusive, but some sort of liver enzyme tests have been found to be high but he is unsure what the test was or the results. No diagnosis has yet been made. He has not been prescribed any medications. The caller only knows of the product brand as Movento. He does not have the label information or registration number.
