9/28/22-Caller works in a greenhouse and has been working there for 4 years. On 9/22/22 she suffered a Grand Mal seizure at work which included foaming at the mouth and urinary incontinence. She was transported by ambulance to the emergency room and did not go back to work until returning today. Upon her return today she learned that another employee she works with was hospitalized with symptoms of fever, chest and arm pain, numbness on the left side of her face, and unspecified illness. Her chest pain and sided facial numbness developed after other symptoms initially developed and she laid down to take a nap. She thought she was having a stroke upon waking, so presented to the emergency room over the past weekend, where the physician ruled out stroke, heart attack, and a virus. The hospitalization lasted for an unknown period of time, and no further information is available regarding her coworker's experience, treatment, diagnosis, or suspected cause. Some months ago when they were going to empty the green house they were advised the products were going to be added to the watering system fertilizers along with unspecified other products to keep bugs at bay. They added an unknown Prophylactic for white flies and fertilizers. She thinks the product is in the mixers and irrigation lines. Caller believes it is exposure to these products causing her and her coworker's symptoms. She took some soil and a water sample from the irrigation system and was going to have them tested. Caller is not included as a patient in this report as her symptoms and level of treatment do not elevate the incident to that of reportability for incidents occurring within the United States.
