1-36819484 -The reporter, the girlfriend of the patient, indicated an exposure to an herbicide that contains the active ingredients 2,4-D, mecoprop-p, and dichlorprop. One hour prior to the initial call, the reporters (age) year old boyfriend had been applying the dust on his lawn. After application he took a shower and during his shower he started feeling lightheaded and nauseous. The reporter was advised that inhalation of the dust may cause transient respiratory irritation. Medical attention was recommended for any severe or persistent symptoms. On follow-up call, two days later, the reporter indicated that her boyfriend had had a stroke and was currently in the hospital. Per the reporter the doctor¿¿¿¿¿¿s think that the patient may have had another stroke a few days prior to any product contact. The doctor¿¿¿¿¿¿s do not believe that the patient¿¿¿¿¿¿s stroke was related to use of the product. No additional information is available.
