The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. The signs and symptoms reported in this case are not consistent with the known toxicology of the material involved at the concentrations used in this spray, even following the type of accidental exposure as reported in this case. If a subject accidentally inhales airborne spray, upper respiratory irritation and coughing my occur, however, such symptoms are typically transitory in nature and do not devolve into serious cardiorespiratory compromise. The details regarding product use and the nature of this patient's exposure remain unclear, as does additional medical follow-up that may provide more insight to the causative nature of this patient's illness.
