1-38553407 - The reporter, a nurse, indicated that a patient was exposed to a fungicide containing the active ingredient chlorothalonil and/or to a non-registrant herbicide containing the active ingredient 2,4-D. The reporter indicated about one hour prior to initial contact with the registrant an adult male got either the diluted chlorothalonil and/or the diluted 2,4-D in his eye. The reporter was not able to provide a PCP registration number, a bar code number, nor the full name of the products involved. Per the reporter the patient rinsed his eye for 15-20 minutes after the exposure but his eye was still irritated and red. On follow-up the reporter was unable to provide additional information on how the patient was doing. No further information is available.
