(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
6/12/2014 Caller has stations applied in his home. Caller's sugar glider has today developed vomiting, ataxia, shaking, holding eyes partially closed, and pale tongue and feet. The bait has not been disturbed or chewed and no exposure was witnessed, but caller is concerned that the sugar glider may have ingested ants affected by the bait. 6/16/2014 Call back to the original caller for follow up information. The pet died before they could take him to the veterinarian.
Death
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. The signs and symptoms reported in this case are not consistent with the known toxicology of the material involved when it has been used in the manner described. There is no evidence that the bait station had been chewed on or disturbed, thus exposure to the active ingredient within the bait station did not occur. The ability of this animal to receive significant secondary exposure to the abamectin via the ants is inconceivable and lack biological plausibility. Finally, this animal was not evaluated by a veterinarian nor was a necropsy performed, therefore, the cause of death is undeterminable.
