The following was reported: My apartment was treated for cockroaches in the beginning of August. When I returned home, after the time they told me to, I started cleaning as instructed. The apartment still smelled very strong of insecticide even though the windows were open during treatment which was at 11:30 am and I returned home at 8:30 pm. I called the company and they told me to let it air out for the night and sleep somewhere else as I have a x old baby. Before I left I cleaned the floors and washed down the eating areas as instructed. When I was cleaning the floors I moved a bag that was in the middle of the kitchen floor. When I picked it up it was completely soaked in pesticed. It accidentally touched my leg and I mopped underneath and didn't think much of it after that.

The following was reported: Later that evening my leg got all red and started burning. I had a shower around 11:30 pm and the burning got worse. I called poison control and she couldn't tell me much as she didn't know what pesticide was used but said to just watch it over night. The next morning I contacted the company to ask which pesticide they use and she wouldn't tell me until I told her about the bag and said that only the baseboards were sprayed. When I told her about my leg she told me they use dragnet. I called back poison control and they said not to worry about any toxic effects. The next day I through out the bag and all the contents as it reaked of pesticide. Since then I have cleaned and mopped and my apartment still smells of pesticide.
