1-26738405- The reporter indicated exposure to an herbicide containing the active ingredient paraquat. It was reported an adult male was pouring the product into a sprayer at which point the product was spilled under his arm. The exposure had taken place five day prior to the registrant initially becoming aware of the incident. The exposed individual did not rinse the exposed area until the evening he was exposed. It was conveyed he was exposed at 10:30 am that day. The following day the exposed individual noted a 'red sunburn-like circle' under his arm three inches in diameter. The next day the symptoms worsened. The area expanded to five to six inches in diameter and became reddish purple in color. Later the same day the area became blistered. The next day the area became larger (four by eight inches) and the patient went to see a doctor. The doctor referred the patient to a local burn center. He was seen at the burn center four days following the exposure where he was diagnosed with second degree burns and treated. The patient was reported to have had cadaver skin applied to the area. No response was available initially to registrant follow up attempts. Spontaneous call back was received four weeks following the initial incident. It was discovered from the retailer that had sold the patient the product that the cadaver skin graft had not taken and the patient had to go back to the original burn center and have and auto skin graft taken from his thigh and applied to his underarm area. No further information is available regarding this case.
