On 6/11/2007, mother called to report that she had used product on her daughter 2 days prior and within 5 minutes of application, the child reportedly developed severe edema of the face, cyanosis, and lack of responsiveness. She was immediately taken to a local ER where she reportedly had an O2 saturation of 45%. In the ER, the child was treated with unspecified anti-inflammatory medications and antihistamines. She was also place on oxygen. Child rapidly recovered such that she was sent home within 3 hours of arrival. She was not sent home with any medications. It is important to note that this child is part of a triplet of children. The other two treated children did not suffering any complications. With this original report, the mother also alleged that An ER physician told her that this was the 3rd child under the age of 2 that they had seen in the past week suffering from what they believe is some kind of allergic reaction with an insect repellent.Follow-up was made on 6/13/2007 with the ER physician that treated this patient. He denies ever saying anything to the patient¿¿¿s mother about his seeing other cases involving severe reactions to OFF! insect repellents. The ER physician also states that he has not treated any other patients in the past with suspected reactions to OFF! insect repellents so he has no idea why the mother would make such a claim.This ER physician also mentioned that there were other items on the patient¿¿¿s differential diagnosis to explain the illness that she experienced and he did not make a definitive diagnosis that she suffered an allergic reaction to OFF! insect repellent. Apparently, other things had been applied to the child as well that day. The doctor did not elucidate on the other items in question, but did mention something about a sunscreen.

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 differential diagnosis for an apparent allergic of this nature would include multiple potential etiologies in addition to this product such as plant allergens, food, infectious pathogens, heat exposure, insect bites, etc. Skin patch testing would be required before labeling this product as the causative agent. The primary physician treating this patient did not make a definitive diagnosis of the the repellent being the causative agent and noted that there were other potential items to consider in this child's history. Also, given the inconsistency in the mother's account of events verses that of the treating physician, one has to question the credibility of the mother's history of events.
