1/23/2024 All of the following has been spontaneously reported by the caller. Caller reports nasal congestion, sore throat, sore inside nose, coughing, rash and itching after exposure to the product. Caller states that a Pest Control Company sprayed the product on 01/15/2024. She had left the home for 6 hours and she returned after the 6 hours. The product was dry in the home and they have the windows cracked open. Later in the day her symptoms developed. She started taking Benadryl and over the counter sinus cold and cough medication. Her symptoms persisted and she saw her primary care doctor on 01/19/2024 and was told to either take Benadryl or over counter Sinus Cold and Sinus. Also instructed to call the company to see if her symptoms could be related to product. Her symptoms are persisting and she is going back to her doctor today 01/23/2024. 1/24/2024 Caller did see her doctor again and was given an unspecified nasal ointment to treat the nasal irritation. She is feeling better today. The doctor told her she is likely very sensitive to something in the product. She was also told if her building is treated again she should spent the night elsewhere.

14. Severity classification.

Moderate

15. Provide supplemental information here.

Company correlation score: 4 (Possible Relationship). The product had dried after application before the patient returned home and no direct exposures to wet product were reported. While there is a temporal relationship between the consumer returning home after application and the onset of symptoms her symptoms did abate without product removal or clean up. Sensitivities to chemical and products can exist, but all other differential diagnoses have not been definitely ruled out.
