7/16/2015 Caller was spraying the product yesterday when the nozzle fell off. Caller taped the nozzle back into place, and continued spraying. The product leaked out around the nozzle and onto her hands and arms. Caller continued to spray, and noticed that her arms felt like they were tingling. The tingling subsided 10 minutes after she washed her hands and arms. Today caller feels weak, lightheaded, and states that her vision was dark (similar to coming inside on a bright day) for about 15 minutes where she was barely able to see. Caller has been drinking water, and states that her blood pressure and heart rate are both normal. Follow-up was attempted on 7/24/2015 A, however, there was no answer, and no way to leave a message.

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. Product has a very wide margin of safety, such that even direct skin contact with the liquid pesticide would not be expected to produce such systemic symptoms as lightheadedness and weakness. Dermal contact may be associated with transient paresthesia.
