1-37238525 - The reporter, a registrant employee, indicates that a (age) year old male may have been exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Lambda-cyhalothrin. The reporter states that the product was applied to a wheat field adjacent to the patients land 6 days prior to initial contact with the registrant. The reporter further states that the patient was reported to be ill two days prior to product application. The product was applied via ground and air and it was windy on the day of application so there may have been some drift, but the reporter was not aware of how or if the patient was exposed to any drift. The reporter states that the day after application the patient collapsed and has been in a coma and hospitalized since that time. The reporter does not believe symptoms are from the product as the patient was ill 2 days prior to product application. No further information is available.
