On 11-Jul-2019 a consumer reported a piece from a block of bait contacted the skin of her bare food approximately three hours prior to the call. She immediately wiped her foot with a tissue and applied an unspecified essential oil. The consumer then went to work and mistakenly used that same tissue to open her lunch pail. She was asymptomatic but concerned about potential signs. Approximately 1.5 hours later the consumer reported her husband told her the product had been present in their bathroom for quite some time (unspecified how long). She was concerned about possible inhalational exposure due to the steam the shower creates. She reported developing a burning sensation on her tongue and in her throat shortly after her exposure to the product that morning. She also reported that feeling occurred at times due to her fibromyalgia and when she becomes nervous. On 14-Jul-2019 the consumer reported she developed diarrhea on 13-Jul-2019, possibly due to eating bad food. She was also concerned that rodents could have brought crumbs of product onto her table and thus in contact with her food. No further information was received in this case.
