1-36623171 - The reporter, a farmer, indicated an exposure to a pesticide containing the active ingredient abamectin. On the day of initial contact with the registrant the reporter had walked into his greenhouse and tripped and kicked on the fogger that contained this diluted product. The product sprayed out on the ground. The reporter ran out of the greenhouse, grabbed a mask and then went back inside and unplugged the fogger. Sometime later that day the reporter developed an after taste in his mouth. No further information is available.
