I followed the guidelines for the days that spraying occurred and remained indoors, with windows closed until well over an hour after spraying stopped. I do not know when exposure occurred or how it occurred. On the first day of spraying, the skin on my face began to itch and burn - red bumps and scaly skin rash spread on my face, neck and chest. Irritation is ongoing and increased in severity after each subsequent day of spraying over the past two weeks. The irritation continues to spread and is extremely itchy. I've been to the doctor - he describes it as contact dermatitis and has prescribed an ointment. The itching and pain continues and has spread to my chest. I have never experienced any type of skin reactions like this before. I've enclosed a couple of pictures showing the rash on my face.
