7/5/2022 Caller applied the product to herself 4 days ago before going outside. She was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and sprayed uncovered skin areas with the product. A couple of minutes after application, she sat down on a wooden bar stool to put on her shoes. She sat there for what she estimates as 5 minutes or so before standing up. When she stood up she found that the backs of her thighs were stuck to the stool, and it peeled some of the skin off of her leg and some of the finish off of the stool. The skin had some black marks of finish and also some open areas that were bleeding. She washed the area with soap and water, and applied Polysporin to the open areas. The area was pretty sore for a couple of days, but is less sore today and no signs of infection. 7/8/2022 Attempted call back to the original caller for follow up. There was no answer and no way to leave a message.
