On 20-May-2022, a [age] year old, [weight] pound, male, human, with a concomitant medical thyroid condition, and takes an unknown amount of Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) medication daily, was exposed to an unknown amount of UltraGuard Plus Reflective Flea and Tick Collar for Dogs and Puppies (Tetrachlorvinphos (Rabon) / S Methoprene) via the topical route. This was an extra label use due to secondary exposure. While applying the collar to their dog the man adjusted the fit several times and noted a lot of powder on the collar. After handling, he washed his hands several times with soap and water. The dog stayed in close contact with the human after product application. Approximately 90 minutes after handling the collar, the human developed intermittent dizziness, described as feeling similar to motion sickness. He removed the collar from the dog and placed it in a plastic bag. He then sat down and drank water to alleviate the symptoms. He was advised to wash his hands for 15-20 minutes, get 30 minutes of fresh air, and drink plenty of water. If symptoms persisted or worsened, immediate medical evaluation in the ER was recommended. No further information was received.
