An (company) technician gave the rodenticides to my landlord who gave them to a tenant that lives below my apartment. I found around 11 blocks and several twisted up newspapers with other blocks crumbled inside. The pesticides were in an empty area under my bathroom floor that is on a higher level platform that also has plumbing pipes along the wall and has a murphy bed contained in a galvanized steel box. The poison was in a pile and not in a safety container.To be determined by Registrant

I am very physically active and the symptoms of weakness were very obvious after around the early/middle of 2014. I am also a gardener/landscaper and I get cuts and scratches frequently, I had wondered why since then that they were not healing well and bleeding excessively. I would get a very upset stomach with severe cramps for hours with digestive and bowel problems.... I was increasingly getting weaker and I had totally stopped going to the gym were I went consistently 5-7 days/week for 5 years and had trouble lifting usually manageable tarps at work. In December I felt generally unwell. There was dermal exposure to the pesticides. While cleaning the apartment and washing the floors, etc... although I was mostly wearing gloves, I am sure that my hands were exposed to the poison when wringing out cloths...
