3/20/2024 All of the following has been spontaneous reported by the caller. The caller is reporting an enlarged ovary since the listed products have been used within her residence. The caller advised that the products have been used within the residence on and off for three years for bed bugs. She advised that when the product is applied within her residence, she would leave for 8 hours. The first time she returned to her home, she experienced an asthma attack with difficulty breathing and wheezing. After the initial use in the home, she would move furniture back to where it belonged and she would experience an asthma attack. At some point, the caller advised that she had to use her inhaler once. She could see the residue of the products on her furniture, inside drawers, closets, any where the product was sprayed. About a month ago, the caller was at her doctors office for a check up when they determined that the right ovary is enlarged, three times the size it should be. The caller has a follow up the afternoon of 20, March 2024 with her doctor. She did not clean the product the first couple times that the product was sprayed but did start wiping it down the last few times it was sprayed. It is unknown if she wore gloves while doing so. No direct therapies have been completed for the enlarged ovary.

14. Severity classification.

Moderate

15. Provide supplemental information here.

The reported symptoms are best reviewed separately, with two correlation scores. Symptoms: Shortness of breath and wheezing. Company correlation score=5 (Probable relationship). While the consumer reported to have exceeded labeled re-entry recommendations for Temprid SC Insecticide of 6 hours, inhalation of the product residue while moving furniture around may cause respiratory irritation, coughing, and shortness of breath. These symptoms would be expected acutely and to be self-limiting with ventilation. Of note, the consumer has underlying asthma. People with underlying respiratory conditions may experience more pronounced symptoms upon inhalation exposures. Her symptoms appeared to have abated with use of her prescribed inhaler. Of note, two other products were also used in her home during application, Bedlam Insecticide and Demand CS Insecticide. It is unclear how the products were applied and used in her home. Symptom: Enlarged Ovary. Company correlation score= 1 (Unlikely relationship). While a loose temporal relationship exists between the product use in her home with the findings of an enlarged ovary, there are no specific reports of direct exposure to the product. Of note, two other products were also used in her home during application, Bedlam Insecticide and Demand CS Insecticide. It is unclear how the products were applied and used in her home over the period of 3 years. Temprid SC Insecticide is not expected to result in reproductive or organ toxicity to the ovary. All other differential diagnoses have not been ruled out.
