1-25590942- The caller indicates potential exposure of a family member to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin. The reporter indicates she is the family member of (age) female which may have had the product intentionally added to an alcoholic beverage and ingested that beverage. The caller indicated the potential exposure took place two years ago and in another country. She did not provide specifics with regard to date, location or product. It was not clarified by the caller whether this was a malicious act, accidental act, or intentional self harm. It was not indicated whether this was an observed or suspected exposure. The product was identified by a nonspecific name but precise formulation or EPA registration numbers were not provided. The caller was not able to provide information about the volume ingested, the onset of symptoms, or any treatments that may have been provided the patient. The caller merely stated the patient passed away and that the hospital did draw blood tox tests. The caller further sated an autopsy was performed and Karate showed up on the toxicology screens as well as alcohol. The caller stated she was attempting to build a case to show that the product was added to alcohol and provided to the affected individual for consumption. The caller was unable/unwilling to provide additional information. When asked for clarification regarding circumstances surrounding the exposure and product identification the caller declined and indicated she would call back at a later time. The caller disconnected at that point. No further information is available. Consistency is difficult to assess with the scant information provided by the caller, but typically neuroexcitation is a prominent feature of systemic pyrethroid intoxication. This is notably absent from the callers history. No further information is available.
