11/7/2022 Around mid-August 2022 the consumer was spraying the diluted product when the line fell off the sprayer, causing it to spray product onto his hand and wrist. He briefly rinsed exposed skin an unspecified amount of time later and remained asymptomatic initially after doing so. On September 1st, 2022 he began experiencing pain in his wrist, and several days later developed a rash on his wrist and arm. He was diagnosed with shingles and prescribed Valtrex by his doctor an unspecified period of time later. The Valtrex helped with the pain radiating up his arm, but did not help with pain present in his palm. He has since developed difficulty sleeping due to the pain, and his pinky finger on the affected hand is now numb. His doctor additionally prescribed Lyrica and Gabapentin, but the pain has intensified and the only thing that helps is putting his hand on ice. He was started on a second course of Valtrex by his primary care doctor on November 3rd, 2022 and given a list of neurologists so he could schedule an electromyography. He additionally began seeing an orthopedist who advised they had never seen effects like his caused by shingles, but did not believe the symptoms were caused by the product, either. 11/11/22 Follow up with the consumer revealed no improvement in symptoms, and he now reports his ring finger is also numb and he cannot bend his fingers sideways. He additionally has a hot sensation on his right hand. He has also added Salonpas and Naproxen to his course of treatments. He has scheduled an electromyography for November 18th, 2022. 11/21/22 Additional follow up revealed that the consumer completed his electromyography on November 18th, 2022 but needed to schedule another visit to go over results. 12/7/22 Additional follow up revealed the consumer received results from his electromyography on December 2nd, 2022 and was told again by the physician they felt his effects were due to shingles. He was prescribed another course of Valtrex and Gabapentin. 12/7/22 Additional follow up from the consumer was received. He noted that he forgot to mention going to the emergency room on December 4th, 2022 for vomiting and a fever. He was admitted to overnight and given one bag of intravenous fluids, Zofran, and Tylenol. He additionally underwent two electrocardiograms, unknown bloodwork, and had a computerized tomography scan of his abdomen, all of which were within normal limits and unremarkable. The doctors did not know the cause of his symptoms and he was discharged on December 5th, 2022 with Zofran and a diagnosis of vomiting of unknown origin.
