1-38699804 - The reporter, a home owner, indicated that he was exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredients 2,4-D, mecoprop-p and dicamba. The reporter no longer had the product packaging and could not provide the product barcode number or registration number. From memory the reporter provided the partial name of Killex Concentrate. Just prior to his inital call the reporter had discarded the product in a garbage bag and as he was carrying the bat it leaked out onto his leg and shoe. He washed after the exposure but at the time of the initial call the affected skin was burning and his foot was cramping. The reporter was advised that dermal contact may cause short-term irritation. On follow-up call, three days later, the reporter indicated that the symptoms resolved in 3 days. No medical attention was needed. No additional information is available.
