10/20/2022 All of the following has been spontaneously reported by the caller. Caller is reporting exposure to the product in 2015 and 2017. He would like more information about his diagnosis. He used the product 1-2 times a week as a lawn caretaker for a private customer from April 2015 through June 2015. The customer supplied a ready to use pump spray bottle. He pumped the bottle and applied the product in sweeping side to side motion on the patio. On one occasion, (date unknown) the wind blew the product on his face during application. It got into his pores, nostrils, mouth, and ears. He was wearing gloves (unknown if chemical resistant) and long sleeves at the time of exposure. He finished the application, showered, and changed clothes within 5 hours of exposure. Around the end of March 2015, he developed a jittery feeling. Symptoms escalated and he developed nausea, lack of appetite, vomiting. He went to the hospital by ambulance in 2015 (date unknown). He told them about product exposure. They did unspecified blood work, a colonoscopy, and other unspecified tests. Symptoms continued. He was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Lymphoma in 2017 and has been treated with chemotherapy, antibiotics, and other unspecified medications. He is unsure if he will need more chemo and is working with doctors on how to proceed. He started working for the customer again in August 2017 (after Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Lymphoma diagnosis). He applied the same product twice a week while wearing long sleeves and gloves. He states he was exposed to the odor of the product (date unknown). He was able to get fresh air after using the product and had no other exposures at any point. After one occasion of using the product in 2017 (date unknown), he was sitting on a patio bench, passed out, lost consciousness, fell to the ground, hit his head on the concrete and started bleeding. He was transported to the emergency room by ambulance.
Majeure
Incident report narrative, continued: He also has symptoms of numbness in his fingers, hernia, stomach pain, stomach cramps, dizziness, weakness, faintness, shakiness, and fluid filled lymph node knots that come and go. It is unclear when symptoms started. Caller stated the customers pet died also from the herbicide; however no other information was obtained before consumer disconnected. Caller does not remember exact dates and does not have product label available at the time of call. He remembers the product label saying RoundUp Herbicide. Product identified by name only. Company causality score: 0 (unlikely relationship). As the reporter did not identify a specific product alleged to have caused the exposure, Bayer has chosen to report this exposure using the product in this report using the information it had available, including reported use and market share. This selection may not be accurate due to the lack of information provided by the reporter. A very loose or no temporal relationship exists between the onset of symptoms and the exposures to the product. The symptoms started prior to any exposure to the product. Ready to use RoundUp products have low concentrations of ingredients and the exposures described were minor in nature and few. There is no identifiable plausible explanation for the product to produce or otherwise influence the effects given the described exposures. There are many other differential diagnoses to consider and symptoms have not resolved or improved since removal of the exposure to the product which is typically expected for minor exposures, as described. After review of the available information the product is unlikely correlated with the reported symptoms after product exposure.

This selection may not be accurate due to the lack of information provided by the reporter. No further details were provided in this case regarding the death of a pet at the home where the product was applied. Evaluation is difficult without knowing which specific product was used, the signalment of the affected animal, the timeline of events, and circumstances of a potential exposure. In general, RoundUp products tend to have a wide margin of safety in animals under normal use conditions and small exposures to properly diluted products would not be expected to cause severe signs or death.
