4/20/2018 Caller applied product on plants in a greenhouse warehouse where plants were affected with white mold. The rooms were closed and had air conditioning. Caller was in the room for 4 hours at a time on two occasions in a two week period. He started having issues 2 weeks after the initial spray. He feels his memory is not very good, lightheaded, dizziness, loss of concentration, and feels palpitations in his heart area. He has been to 2 or 3 hospitals and has had lab tests, blood glucose levels, lung tests, and an abdominal ultrasound yesterday. An electrocardiogram was performed 2 days ago, and caller was told he had something like an extra heart beat but not to worry. Caller was vague about dates and times, but does recall that blood glucose and ultrasound results were normal. He has another appointment with a hospital in 3 days. 5/7/2018 Caller's dizziness is still present constantly, and palpitations are present on and off.

Any relationship between the use of this product and the development of the complications reported in this case is highly unlikely and lacks biological plausibility. Secondly, the product use history is extremely vague and lacks any description of a known or defined point of direct exposure to this product. Even had casual or incidental contact with this product occurred, such illness would be unexpected and is not consistent with the toxicological profile of this product. 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.
