2023SCPU00071626- The reporter, a family member of the patient, indicates an exposure to a mixture of pesticides containing the active ingredients azoxystrobin, propiconazole, pydiflumetofen, lambda-cyhalothrin, and thiamethoxam. Seven days before the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated the patient was sprayed with a diluted mixture of the products. They removed their contaminated clothing and showered shortly after exposure. The next morning the patient seemed manic and paranoid. Three days before the day of initial contact the patient was experiencing psychosis and was unable to communicate clearly. Two days before the day of initial contact the patient was experiencing paranoid delusions and was hospitalized in the psychiatric ward. The reporter was advised that the symptoms were not consistent with exposure to this pesticide and the patient should continue to receive symptomatic and supportive medical attention. On follow up calls one and four days after the day of initial contact, the patient was still hospitalized but seemed to be improving. The reporter indicated the medical staff do not think the product exposure was the cause of the symptoms. No additional information is available.
