1-37993965 - The reporter indicated that his (age) year old father was exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Lambda-cyhalothrin. The reporter stated that sometime within one hour of his initial call the callers father touched the foil lid of the product container and got the concentrated product on his finger. The reporter believes that his father must have then touched his eye because at the time of the initial call the skin around his fathers eyes was red. The reporter was advised that ocular contact may result in transient irritation. Rinsing of the eye was recommended and medical care was advised if symptoms were severe or persistent. On follow-up call, three days later, the reporter indicated that his father went to the emergency room to have the eye flushed and symptoms resolved within 8 hours. No further information is available.
