4/30/2021 Caller opened 4 baits today and put them around her house. Caller has been opening the seal with her thumb nail and then peeling it back with her fingers. Caller said she constantly puts her hands in her mouth on a normal basis, and hasn't washed her hands yet and touched her mouth. She said her tongue is numb and tastes like soap. Caller was nauseous earlier and vomited around lunch time. She washed her hands and is rinsing out her mouth. 5/3/2021 Call back to the original caller for follow up. Caller washed her hands, face, mouth, and lip ring. She changed her clothes and began feeling better later in the evening. But then she had an allergic reaction to an avocado, and developed a sore throat the next day. Caller's daughter also had strep throat the week before, so she believes this may be do to that as well. The numbness and soapy taste in her mouth resolved overnight, but she still has the sore throat. 5/4/2021 Attempted call back to the original caller. A message was left requesting follow up information. 5/5/2021 Caller did not see her doctor. She is prone to strep throat. Her symptoms have resolved.
