The caller reported that on Friday, June 8 he was spraying a tank-mix of Attain and Puma 6 days ago. He does not recall any defined point of exposure to the liquid herbicides but speculates that his respirator had been broken so some of the vapours from the mixture may have got through. He initially felt fine the day of herbicide application. During the afternoon of the following day, June 9, the caller states that after drinking a beer he developed blurred vision, disorientation and ataxia. He states he felt like he was 'drunk'. He does not typically experience these symptoms after one beer. Because these symptoms did not improve he ended up going to a local ER on June 10. They performed unspecified blood work and a CT scan which all came back normal. No treatment was performed and he was sent home. He reports that he is still experiencing the symptoms. The next day he went to his physician where tests and CT were all normal. At the time of the call the symptoms had abated somewhat.

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. Direct exposure to this herbicide is not evident in this incident. The delayed onset of the patient symptoms after application is not suggestive of toxicity nor would they be expected symptoms should incidental contact to airborne vapors have occurred. It would appear that this patient's complications are more consistent with the patient's consumption of an alcoholic beverage, however, such sustained symptoms are inconsistent with ethanol intoxication.
