1-51466435 - The reporter, a nurse, indicates an exposure to an herbicide containing the active ingredient paraquat. Two days before the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated the patient was unhooking a hose on a delivery truck and some of the product sprayed on the patient真真真s face and in his mouth. The patient was seen by a physician the same day, but did not have any symptoms and was released. On the day of initial contact with the registrant, the patient developed swelling of the tongue and was admitted to the ICU where he was sedated and intubated. One day after the day of initial contact, the patient真真真s creatinine was slightly elevated, and he was put on intravenous pain medication. Three days after the day of initial contact, the patient真真真s throat was sloughing. Four days after the day of initial contact, bronchoscopy of the patient真真真s lungs revealed red bronchi, and the patient真真真s creatinine was back to the normal range. Six days after the day of initial contact, the patient was transferred from ICU to normal hospitalization, and mild anemia was discovered on bloodwork. Seven days after the day of initial contact, the anemia was nearly resolved and the patient was discharged. No additional information is available.
