8/25/2015 Caller has been spraying product in his home for years. Two to three weeks ago, a large black ant crawled up his catheter tube in the night and bit him on his penis three times. 10 days later he began to develop sporadic itching rashes which lead to restlessness, nasal irritation, eye irritation, and urinary incontinence. The caller has had previous urinary incontinence which required the use of the catheter. Call from the original caller. He applied Benadryl cream to the affected area, and now the area is burning and he feels nausea. He is going to wash the cream off. 8/27/2015 Attempted call back to the original caller. A message was left requesting follow up information. Caller returned the previous message. He still has a burning sensation on his penis, occasional painful urination, and periods of feverishness. He went to his primary physician yesterday, and was told by the doctor that the ant that bit him did not likely have enough product on it to cause his symptoms. No other diagnosis was given and not specific treatments prescribed.

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. Any relationship between the use of this product and the insidious development of the complications reported in this case is inconceivable and lacks biological plausibility. A medical doctor has also ruled out involvement of the pesticide in this patient's illness.
