On 24-May-2018, a x year old, woman, in unknown condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, was exposed to an unknown amount of Advantix (non - US Registered Product) (Imidacloprid - Permethrin) when the product got all over her hands after she opened the package. The tube was ruptured and had leaked inside the packaging. Immediately post exposure, the individual experienced an irritation on her hands at the exposure site, so she washed her hands several times with an unspecified soap. Approximately 15 minutes post exposure, the individual experienced erythema on her hands at the exposure site and a tingling sensation on her hands at the exposure site. The individual was not examined by a physician. Due to the product being Non-US, no further information is expected; this case is closed.

14. Severity classification.
Minor
15. Provide supplemental information here.
A - Probable Accidental direct exposure. Affected area compatible with exposed area. Reported irritation and erythema are consistent with individual dermal sensitivity after exposure to wet product. Tingling sensation on hands likely reflects paresthesia induced by permethrin. Considering short time to onset and sign location, a product connection is deemed to be probable. Initial assessment/causality confirmed by Medical Doctor.
