11/4/2021 Husband and daughter calling for their wife and mother. The set off one fogger in one room of the house and closed the door on 10/28/2021. They did not leave the home while the product was spraying and did not enter the room for 4 hours. The patient said the odor from the product was making her ill, and she developed a headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. They got a hotel room for her, and her symptoms persisted. She could not eat or drink without it coming back up. They took her to the emergency room on 11/3/2021 and were there for about 2 hours. They were unable to start an intravenous line in the emergency room. They performed blood work and a computerized tomography scan of her head, but do not have the results yet. No diagnosis was given and no medication was given before she was discharged. Her symptoms are still present. 11/5/2021 Call back for follow up, spoke to patient's daughter. The test results showed a large mass in her stomach and also some masses on her lungs. She is still staying in the hotel room. She is unsure if the doctor thinks the symptoms are related to the product. 11/11/2021 Call back for follow up, spoke to the patient's daughter. The patient is doing better, and she is home now. She is able to keep food and drink down, but only with medication. No diagnosis has been given yet. 11/15/2021 Call back for follow up, spoke to the patient's daughter. The patient is doing ok at this time, and will see the doctor again today. The product was discussed with the doctor, and they said it should not last that long in the house but cannot say if it is related to her symptoms. She has no diagnosis yet, and will see a lung specialist later in the month.
