5/26/2018 7:39:43 PM A woman reported that she found a bait station in a vent in her home about 30 minutes prior. She had been experiencing itching all over her body, chills, a tingling sensation, and shortness of breath since that morning. She denied touching the bait station or the bait inside it. The bait station was intact. The caller had washed her hands. She noted a room in her home smelled abnormally and wanted to know what signs would be expected if she were poisoned by the product. Given the symptoms reported, the caller was advised to wash for 15 minutes, ventilate the room with the abnormal smell, and to seek fresh air outside. She could also take a dose of an over-the-counter antihistamine. Due to the difficulty breathing since that morning, evaluation at an emergency department was recommended. The caller then abruptly disconnected the call. No further information was received in this case, so the outcome is unknown.
