1-35354160 - The reporter, a home owner, indicated that both she and her daughter were exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient dichlorvos. The reporter hung the insecticidal strip in her kitchen approximately three months prior to initial contact with the registrant. She had removed the strip about 3 or 4 weeks prior to initial contact but at the time of her call she was complaining of fatigue and trouble catching her breath. The reporters daughter did not develop any symptoms from the exposure. The reporter indicated that she did not realize the product was not meant to be applied inside her home as she did not read the label prior to product use. Medical attention was recommended to determine a cause and appropriate treatment for her symptoms. On follow-up call, two days later, the reporter indicated that she was still having trouble breathing and she had an appointment scheduled with her doctor on the following day. The reporter could not be reached for additional follow-up. No further information is available.
