8/24/2023 Consumer calling to report stroke like symptoms, seizure like activity, metallic taste, sweating, headaches, weakness, severe light headedness, dry heaving, and feeling total body paralysis after possible exposure to Delaro complete. Caller reports that on 7/27, there was a plane that passed over his barn and fields about three times spraying this product (however it was intended to have been sprayed on the fields of the neighboring farm). Consumer stated he was not directly sprayed, however he did go out to the barn shortly after this and he said he could smell the product and sort of taste the product when he went out into the field. He stated the barn is relatively open and that he thinks some of the spray did get into the barn, and was also sprayed directly onto some of his livestock. Consumer stated that he went out into the field and handled his livestock shortly after the exposure, so a dermal exposure could be possible. Consumer stated that a couple of days after the possible exposure, around 7/30, he developed severe headaches, weakness, and a metallic taste in his mouth. He state that he tried ibuprofen and acetaminophen to treat headaches but this didn't help. He stated the metallic taste is still ongoing and is intermittent. He stated that on 8/12 was in the barn cleaning and started profusely sweating. He stated he went to get some water and became severely lightheaded, was dry heaving, and he said he barely made it to the house where he then sat on the porch swing. He reports developing a severe headache after 15 minutes of sitting, at which point ems was called. He stated he had total body paralysis and seizure like activity before emergency medical services arrived. He reports it was not overly hot that day, he thinks it was in the low 80s and he was in and out of the barn working prior to the event. Consumer stated he was admitted to the hospital 8/12, was discharged late on 8/14.
Majeure
Incident narrative, continued: Consumer stated he was diagnosed with stroke like symptoms and seizure like activity but no definitive cause was identified by the doctors. He said during his hospitalization he had an intravenous catheter placed, but could not recall what treatments were given to him. He did state that he had an electroencephalogram that was abnormal and that he was discharged with a seizure medication to take as needed but he has not needed to take any. He reports he has an appointment with his family doctor today and is scheduled to have a 48-hour electroencephalogram next month. He said he did tell the doctors near the end of his hospitalization that he had been exposed to something on July 27th but he didn't have the specific information on what the product was. He said the doctors did not mention anything about this exposure being the cause of his symptoms. Caller also reports one of his herd of cattle died post exposure, and the rest had unspecified symptoms. 8/24/2023 Left message with consumer to callback to follow up with cattle symptoms and details of exposure. 8/25/2023 Attempted callback to follow up with cattle symptoms and details of exposure. Left voice message for with reason for calling, asked caller to contact us at provided number and reference case number to provide information. Company correlation assessment: 1 (Unlikely relationship). No known direct exposure occurred to the product. If he was exposed dermally to the product while working with the livestock it was not a noticeable amount. Symptoms did not occur until three days after application of the product. The symptoms reported are not expected given the ingredients in the product, the described exposure and the onset of symptoms three days later. All other differential diagnoses have not been ruled out and symptoms have not improved upon removal from the product.

Left voice message for with reason for calling, asked caller to contact us at provided number and reference case number to provide information. Company correlation assessment: 0 (Unlikely relationship). Very limited information was provided in this case regarding the deaths of some of the cows on this farm. It was not specified how long after exposure the cows died or if any clinical signs were observed prior to death. However, the three fungicidal active ingredients in the product are all considered to have a low order of toxicity in mammals. Significant clinical signs are not expected following acute exposure.
