7/1/2020 Caller sprayed product yesterday one one side of two sets of wicker furniture in their garage while wearing goggles and a mask. She used approximately 2/3 of one can. After applying the product she noticed that her breathing had changed (caller could not be more specific). Last night and this morning she has had a headache. This morning she developed a cough that has since resolved. She also has a bitter tasted in her mouth. The product odor is strong and is coming through the garage. She has left the garage doors and windows open, put towels against the bottom of the door, shut windows in the house, and changed the air filter in her home. She contacted a poison control company who recommended that she take Ephedrine, her husband's Ventolin inhaler, Tylenol, and Loratadine. She took these about an hour ago. Caller is speaking in full sentences without difficulty. 7/2/2020 Attempted call back to the original caller. A message was left requesting follow up information. Call back from the original caller. They washed everything with soap and water and an all purpose cleaner. The furniture is still in the garage with all of the windows and doors open. She is about 50 percent better today. She is continuing to take Loratadine and use the Ventolin inhaler. They are going to leave everything in the garage, and she will call back tomorrow if it hasn't improved.
