1/22/2022 Caller applied the product on 1/19/2022 as directed, and left the house for several hours after spraying. Caller denies any direct exposure to the product. Later that evening on 1/19/2022, she developed an itching rash on one leg. Caller applied Polysporin Itch Cream and some skin lotion, and the itching stopped. Caller has had unusually dry skin, and her eyes have been irritated and watering as well. Caller also had a canker sore in her mouth for a couple of weeks. On 1/21/2022 she noticed a lump on her neck when she rubbed it. She decided to go to the emergency room due to the lump on her neck. She was told that it was swollen lymph glands, which could be due to drainage from the canker sore. The doctor looked at the rash, and suggested it might be from bug bites. They suggested that if she gets further bites, she should call an exterminator. No therapies were performed. 1/26/2022 Call back to the original caller for follow up. Caller does not think the product had anything to do with the rash. Caller did see her doctor. He asked if she had any new bites, and she replied that she did not. He did not have any concerns. The bites have healed.
