1-41485821 - The reporter, a medical toxicology fellow, indicated that a patient was exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredient Paraquat. It is uncertain if the patient was exposed to a registrant product as the reporter did not provide the full name of the product or an EPA registration number. The reporter stated that the patient unintentionally ingested a small amount of paraquat. Additional details were not provided on how or why the exposure occurred. Per the reporter the patient first developed kidney injury and then more delayed pulmonary findings and then the patient passed away. The reporter could not be reached on routine follow-up attempts. No additional information is available.
