9/30/2013: Caller states that she had applied products 2-4 times per week over the months of June, July and August. She does not recall any specific instance of exposure, but occasionally the hand held sprayer would leak diluted herbicide onto her hands. Sometimes she would not be able to wash her hands off until about 30 minutes later. Around July 25, she states she started to experience pain and stiffness in her left and right wrists as well as her left and right shoulder. This problem has waxed and waned every since July 25. She has seen a general practitioner who reportedly ran a blood test for arthritis but the caller has not heard back from this doctor. The doctor did not prescribe any medication but said it would be OK to use over the counter analgesics if the caller wanted. The doctor did not seem to think that the herbicides had anything to do with the joint pain. She was attempting to control wormwood in her hay crop.

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. Even had casual or incidental contact with this product occurred with the product occasionally leaking on the hands, such illness would be unexpected. It is important to note that the user did not promptly decontaminate skin following exposure has instructed to do so on the label. Sustained skin contact with this herbicide is typically associated with dermatitis and this condition was not reported in this case. When considering the body of regulatory data and post-marketing data as well as the weight of scientific peer reviewed evidence on the active ingredients used in this product such a causal relationship appears to be scientifically implausible.
