2/10/2020 Caller has this product applied in her home approximately 2 weeks ago. Around 1 week later, her boyfriend developed hives on his abdomen.

A message was left requesting follow up information.

14. Severity classification.

Moderate

15. Provide supplemental information here.

Given the hives did not appear until a week later with no known contact with the product a temporal relationship does not exist. Once the product is dried it is not expected to transfer from touch. All other differential diagnoses and causes have not been ruled out. Signs and symptoms did not abate with decontamination. The product was being reapplied the day of the call but is not considered a re-challenge as initial symptoms had not abated.
