06/03/14 - 7:54 -Caller states that she was spraying some Wilson Jet Foam Wasp Hornet Killer last night and thinks she might have inhaled the product because she woke up having dizzy spells and vomited once and it blood in it. Caller said that she actually had a dizzy spell while still laying down. Caller does take 8 different medications daily but states that they have never made her dizzy. NKA - Smoker 1 1/2 a day. Caller thinks she was spraying too close when she used product yesterday around 1900-2000 - duration 5-10 mins - she was spraying on balcony/ceiling. She felt dizzy this morning when she was turning in bed and continued to feel dizzy when she got out of bed, wonders if it's related to product use. As we speak she states she has eaten a banana and now is feeling better. She is diabetic but does not check her blood sugar at home. She also spit and had some red color in spit, but she had eaten blue berries so not sure if that what caused color. Recs? Recommendation: protein snack, have someone check on her over next couple hours to make sure she is doing OK (no one can come over), ER evaluation if SX do not resolve. 06/03/14 - 9:30 (follow up call) caller States she fell down, still feeling dizzy, someone is coming to pick her up to take her to ER.
