Major
B - Possible Individual was exposed to unknown amount of collar while applying the collar. Affected site is not in line with exposed site. No information about indirect exposure of affected site via contaminated hands. Reported serious sign such as convulsion is not expected with appropriate product use as not consistent with product真真真s pharmacological profile. Shaking is not expected sign and, in this case likely associated with convulsion. Hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis to the collar are not typically seen and not consistent with product真真真s pharmacological profile as well. None of the active ingredients is known to have immuno-toxicological effects nor causing dermal sensitization. However, hypersensitivity may exceptionally occur with direct product exposure to every product combined with respective disposition in the individual. Signs resolved and then reoccurred after subsequent exposure to collar. Product information states that user should wash their hands with cold water after fitting of collar. It is unknown whether this was followed or not. Time to onset is short. Considering short time to onset and reappear of reactions after product exposure, product involvement cannot be ruled out. Thus, product involvement is assessed as possible.
