12/10/2015 The caller states that the her apartment management put the products in the floor joists of her apartment 3-4 weeks prior to the call. Approximately 24-36 hours prior to the call she began to experience symptoms of muscle cramps, headache, nausea, and tinging in the hands. The symptoms wax and wane but seem to begin about 30 minutes after being in her home but she could not determine how long it took for her symptoms to resolve once she left the home. Her husband also is experiencing symptoms of muscle cramps, tingling in the hands and dizziness although she does not know when his symptoms started or if they correlate to being in the home. The caller denies any direct exposure to the product but is concerned she may be inhaling it. The caller was advised that the product dose not release pesticide into the air and that the reported symptoms do not correlate with exposure. Advised her and her husband to consult their physician.
