(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-37076776 - The reporter, a farmer, indicated that a neighbors horses may have been exposed to two different herbicides one herbicide containing the active ingredient Paraquat and the other containing the active ingredient atrazine. The reporter did not provide any additional product information and it is unknown if the atrazine is a registrant product. The reporter stated that he applied the products to his corn field about four days prior to speaking with the registrant. The reporter indicated that during application he did not see his neighbors horses anywhere in the area. The reporter also indicated that it was not windy and any wind that did blow was blowing away from his neighbors pasture. A day or two later the horse owner called the reporter very irate, stating that his horses were behaving erratically and the horse owner was convinced that the reporter had poisoned his horses. One follow-up, one day later, the reporter indicated that one of the horses had died. The reporter had contacted a lawyer and a necropsy was planned to help determine a cause for the horses symptoms. The described symptoms are not consistent with the described exposure to the product. No further information is available.
