5/16/2014 Caller accidentally got product on his hands 4 days ago. Caller was not wearing gloves and did not wash it off right away. He developed blisters on his hands 2 days later. He was unable to see his regular doctor, so he went to the emergency room. They drained the large blisters and wrapped them, and he also received a tetanus shot. Caller reports now that the smaller blisters are becoming larger. 5/20/2014 Caller has not gone to his doctor, and the blisters have become worse and full of blood. Caller has been applying hydrocortisone cream to the blisters. He has an appointment with his doctor in 3 days. 5/23/2014 Call back to the original caller for follow up information. A message was left requesting follow up. 5/24/2014 Caller still has blisters on his right hand only. Some of the blisters have healed, but some appear to be turning brown. His hand feels a bit swollen and he has a tingling sensation at times. He went to his doctor yesterday, and the doctor did not think there was any infection. The doctor prescribed Silvadine cream for application to the area and keeping the area clean. No follow up is scheduled at this time. 5/30/2014 Blisters continue to heal. He now has a crack in the skin, and still has a tingling sensation in his thumb and index finger. He has not been back to the doctor. Caller reports that the product was purchased in the United States and that the exposure occurred in Canada.
