Caller reports that her husband was admitted to the hospital on June 14 with pancreatitis. He had sprayed product with hand held sprayer, on May 28th. Application was uneventful with no known exposure occurring on May 28th. He had worn coveralls and gloves. He did not use a mask, but used some type of winter face covering that caller could not describe very well. He remains hospitalized with his condition worsening 4 days ago when he developed respiratory failure. He is currently on a ventilator. The doctors caring for him did not feel his illness had anything to do with the herbicide application especially since the application was done 17 days prior to the actual onset of illness. Caller denies that the patient was a heavy consumer of alcoholic beverages but did admit that he did drink when he was younger.
Majeure
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. The reported signs and symptoms are not specific for the known toxicity of this material given the circumstances of use and lack of any defined point of exposure. Even had dermal exposure to diluted herbicide occurred, the expection of clinical complications would be limited to local dermatitis if product had not been promptly washed from the skin. The delayed onset of pancreatitis 17 days following potential skin contact with diluted herbicide would most certainly not be expected to occur based on currently available scientific data on Remedy Herbicide. As history of alcohol consumption is more consistent with known causes for pancreatitis.
