8/15/2022 Caller applied the product 3 to 5 weeks ago. Since using the product it has rained and the plants have died. Two days ago, his wife was pulling weeds from the area. She immediately began to feel tingling in her hands. She may have wiped her face with her hands, and has burning on her face and tingling on her lips. She thought the symptoms may have been from the sun, so she tried to stay out of the sun. Today she is improved, but her eyes are still puffy and she has burning under her eye. 8/16/2022 Call back from the original caller to provide product information. His wife has not seen her doctor as previously advised. She has only splashed water on her face as needed. Her lips are still tingling, but the burning sensation under her eyes is starting to subside. 8/19/2022 Call back to the original caller for follow up. His wife is doing well. He is not certain what symptoms remain, if any. She has not been seen yet. She made an appointment to see her doctor, but caller does not think she will go in.
