8/28/2012 Caller states that he is a nudist and he goes out every day and sprays himself down with the product from head to toe. The caller states that he has been using the product every day since it came out about 20 years ago. The caller states that he bought the can that was a twin pack at Sam's Club, no receipt available. The day in question, he used a can that he believes had the wrong nozzle on it or it was malfunctioning, and it came out in a very large stream. Caller states this incident occurred on June 29th 2010. An unspecified period of time later, he started to feel ill and went to the hospital. While in the hospital he passed out and was "out" for 2.5 days during which time he was resuscitated twice. He was sent July 11th, to a rehab facility and was released July 16th. Caller was not able to elucidate on his medical care further. The caller alleges that laboratory testing suggested that he had DEET poisoning. He does not have the original container he had used in order to provide an EPA registration number. He just knows that it was a OFF! Deep Woods brand aerosol and that it contains DEET. Caller also states that he is still using the product daily even after this event as it is very effective. Caller just believes that this single instance was the problem. He does report having a history of blood clots, leg edema and water retention. He is currently taking Coumadin, Lipitor and Lasix.
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. When considering the body of regulatory data on DEET and post-marketing data collected over the past several years as well as the weight of scientific peer reviewed literature evidence of such a causal relationship in this case appears to be scientifically implausible. Even thought the product may have dispensed improperly on the skin, it would not be expected to product profound illness requiring hospitalization for several days. The fact that the patient continues to use the same brand of product after this medical event and is not encountering problems supports the safety of this particular product.
