Caller states that he bought a product called Wilson Ant Out. He does not have the product with him/in front of him. There are different kinds of Ant Out. This is a powder On the front it says it contains only Diatomaceous earth and a food grade attractant. He, thinking that the product was safe for humans had it all over his hands. As he was cleaning up his hand touched his armpit and he has this inflamed condition as a result. He is not calling for medical help as he has already seen a doctor. He has a question. He started doing research and some websites seem to indicate that this product has Carbaryl at 5% and this has been noted to be an insecticide and a potent one. One that can cause cancer. He wanted to know what the chemical components of the product he used are. He feels that his body has reacted to the Carbaryl.
