1-53401918 - The reporter indicates an exposure to a pesticide containing the active ingredient diquat. On the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated a line on a sprayer blew off and sprayed him in the face with an unknown dilution of the product. The reporter stated he was able to rinse the product off. The reporter was advised to thoroughly flush his eyes and skin as a strong solution might cause severe irritation to the eyes, and to seek medical attention if symptoms occur. One day after the initial day of contact, the reporter called back saying he had done additional rinsing of his eyes, but his eyes are red. The reporter indicated he had not sought medical evaluation due to long wait times at the emergency room. On follow-up two days after initial contact, the reporter indicated he had sought medical attention where they flushed his eyes and prescribed medication, but his eyes were painful and swollen. Three days after initial contact, the reporter called to say his symptoms were not improving. The reporter was advised to continue to follow his doctor's recommendations. Six and nine days after initial contact, the reporter was not available on follow-up call. On a follow up call eleven days after exposure, the reporter indicated his doctor said there was unspecified damage to the surface of both eyes. The reporter was encouraged to continue to follow his doctor's recommendations. No additional information is available.
