On the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated the patient was mixing the product into a tank when a hose broke and the concentrated product got on their face and upper body. They were experiencing red skin and their face felt a little numb. The patient had been wearing long sleeves and goggles, had already rinsed their exposed skin, and was advised to seek medical attention if symptoms persisted or worsened. On follow-up call one day after the day of initial contact, the reporter indicated the patient's symptoms had resolved within one day of exposure. No additional information is available.
