14. Severity classification.
Major
15. Provide supplemental information here.
Direct accidental dermal product exposure. No respiratory exposure to the product reported. However the severe signs exhibited by this patient, the time to onset and the duration are inconsistent with the pharmacological and toxicological product profile even after dermal exposure. In fact, followup with a family member showed an adverse reaction to a specific medication taken by the patient. Thus overall a product relation is deemed to be unlikely. Initial assessment confirmed by medical doctor. No follow-up reporting
