GDS comment: Accidental indirect exposure - Contact with treated dog with confirmed subsequent oral exposure (hand to mouth contact). Nausea may be expected after accidental oral exposure, as a reaction to the bitter flavored alcohol carrier in the product. Headache and dizziness usually not expected. However, onset time and chronology are very short but compatible. Thus, a product connection is deemed to be possible. Initial assessment confirmed by medical doctor
