6/9/2021 Caller was a poor historian. He states approximately 2 years ago that he experienced an incident where the product was hooked up to a hose sprayer on his farm, and during application it accidentally blew off due to increased water pressure causing the skin of his upper left leg to be exposed to the diluted product. He rinsed the exposed skin 30 minutes later and did not note any symptoms initially. However, 1 year later he has noticed that the exposed area is numb to the touch. He then mentioned that he has worked with this product for several years and also had direct exposure on the skin of his hands on multiple occasions during use and never experienced symptoms. He was evaluated by a provider on an unspecified date in regards to the exposure, and was told that as long as the skin was rinsed he should be fine. No further treatments were used or recommended for the exposure. 6/14/2021 Attempted call back to the original caller. A message was left requesting follow up.
Moderate
The onset of symptoms was a year after product exposure and all other differential diagnoses have not been ruled out. Symptoms did not abate after removal and decontamination and he has been exposed to the product on his skin many times and has not had similar symptoms. The symptoms are unlikely to be related to the product exposure.
