9/2/2023 Caller is very confusing. He is asking for use instructions, and is reporting a dermal exposure. He sprayed a bus bench and touched it to see if it was dry last night. He got the product on his hands when doing this. He moved to another bench but was unable to wash his hands for a while. He later washed his hands and denies symptoms, but then states the inside of his third eye is numb. He explains this as brain fog or numbness inside his head. He talks about a spray that was applied to his apartment by a Ortho Pest Control company. He talks at length about how they removed his baseboards but no one ever came to put them back on. This was 5-6 months ago. He does not mention any medical concern with this, but seems to be talking about the Ortho brand name. He is calling to ask how to use the product in his home. No further information is available.
