3/20/2014 Caller has been living in his home for 12 years and suspects product has been used on the trees, bushes, and grass in his yard periodically during this time. He could not say when or why the product would have been applied on or near his property. Caller is experiencing various health issues. In the last 10 years, he has had prostate cancer which went into remission. He says his eyesight is going bad slowly over the years and just got out of the hospital 3 weeks ago with a diagnosis of bronchitis and a recurrence of his prostate cancer. Caller was in the hospital for 3 days. He says he always wears shoes when he goes outside but does touch the berries from the trees with his hands when he is cleaning them up. He denies any contact with the wet product. Caller mentioned that he was experiencing shortness of breath now which had temporarily improved when he was in the hospital but is now increasing. He complains now that his breathing is continuing to deteriorate.

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. The product use history is extremely vague and lacks any description of a known or defined point of direct exposure to this herbicide. Even had casual or incidental contact with this product occurred, the type of serious complications reported by this patient with a complicated past medical history lack biological plausibility with respect to any type of causal relationship.
