2/16/2021 Caller and her husband were at a friend's house in July or August 2020. The product was burning on the patio, and he was sitting fairly close to the product. The next day, his left eye began having symptoms. His left eye and eyelid started looking like he had pink eye. It was very red, but that has gone down over an unspecified amount of time. The eye lid looks swollen. He has been to an eye specialist a couple of times. The doctors have given him different eye drops and pills. None of the doctors or specialists have been able to determine what is happening. The swelling is better that what it was, but is still not resolved. Caller can see a mark on the white part of husband's eye. She isn't sure if it was there before.
