(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

3/31/2017 Caller's father applied the product outside of the home at the foundation and then sprayed indoors in small cracks and crevices in the kitchen and bathroom on 3/25/2017. Caller stayed in the home, but caller's father and mother left the home for 3 hours after treatment. They also removed the dog, and a pet bird was moved to a well ventilated patio for three hours as well. When they returned, they brought the animals back into the home and left again for shopping. When they returned, the bird was found dead. The dog was found lethargic, but returned to normal after 2 days. Caller and his parents had all been experiencing scratchy throats, but attributed it to seasonal allergies. When the bird died, they became concerned and later attributed the scratchy throats to the product. Caller's mother later developed vomiting, diarrhea, and a slight rash. She treated herself with Pepto Bismol. She is still experiencing these symptoms. Caller confirmed that no direct exposure to the product was witnessed. Caller states that they did open windows to ventilate after returning to the home on 3/25/2017.
