7/26/2017 Caller is a doctor at a clinic with 2 patients who present with dizziness. A licensed pest control operator flew over the area in a plane dispensing product. No obvious exposure was noted at the time. Examination of both patients was unremarkable. They complained of a foul taste in their mouths, and caller released the patients with a prescription for Peridex mouth rinse. Caller verified that there was a helicopter scheduled to apply the product today, but they are not certain this is the plane the patients were referring to or that this is the product in question. 7/28/2017 Call back to the original caller for follow up. He saw both patients yesterday. The male patient had a mild rash, and caller prescribed hydrocortisone cream. Caller does not believe the rash was related to the product. Both patients are well today.
