1-56849812 The reporter, a medical professional, indicates an exposure to an herbicide containing the active ingredient paraquat. On the morning of the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated a x-year-old female patient drank one to two sips of the concentrated product from a beverage bottle that her husband had used to transport the concentrate home from work. An unknown amount of time later, the patient experienced nausea and vomiting and was transported to an emergency room. The reporter was advised that the product is highly toxic with effects to the gastrointestinal tract and multi-organ failure. On follow-up call eight hours after the time of initial contact, the reporter indicated the patient was in the ICU and had received dialysis. On follow-up call one day after the day of initial contact, the reporter indicated the patient had again received dialysis and had a small scab around her mouth. On follow-up call three days after the day of initial contact, the patient was still receiving dialysis, had mild throat discomfort, and had been intubated. On follow-up call five days after the day of initial contact, the reporter indicated they were seeing a mild creatinine elevation, dialysis continued, and the patient continued to be intubated due to tachypnea, shortness of breath, and decreased oxygen saturation. On follow-up call eight days after the day of initial contact, the reporter indicated the patient was still intubated and on daily dialysis. On follow-up call ten days after the day of initial contact, the reporter indicated the patient was still intubated, on daily dialysis and was getting a feeding tube placed.
