7/20/2015 Caller applied the product on 7/11/2015 by painting it on poison ivy with a small brush. One drop of the product dripped on her foot, and she washed the area about an hour after exposure. She did not develop any symptoms at the site of contact. On 7/12/2015 caller had a several hour stretch of time that she could not remember, and went to the emergency room for evaluation. Caller does not recall if any treatments were performed in the emergency room, and she was admitted to the hospital for 2 days. Caller was told that her blood pressure was low, but could not provide any information on tests done or treatments provided. Caller was given a diagnosis of global transient amnesia at discharge. After discharge caller was given magnetic resonance imaging and an electroencephalogram, which showed seizure activity in the left hemisphere. She will be seeing a neurologist tomorrow for the magnetic resonance imaging results.
