On 06-Jul-2024, a [age] year old, approximately [weight] kilograms, male human, with no known concomitant medical conditions, was exposed to an unknown amount of Farnam Equi-Spot Spot-On Protection for Horses (Permethrin) while applying the product to his horse. This was an extra label use due to the accidental exposure to a human. During application, the product poured out of the tube quickly with some of it getting onto three of his fingers. The individual immediately washed his hands with soap and water. Four hours post exposure, the individual developed a loss of balance (ataxia) and general malaise (feeling terrible). On approximately 07-Jul-2024, the clinical signs resolved and the individual recovered without medical intervention. No further information is expected.

On 06-Jul-2024, an 18 year old, approximately 589.7 kilograms, neutered, male, Palomino horse, in unknown condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, was administered 1 applicator of Farnam Equi-Spot Spot-On Fly Control for Horses (Permethrin) via the topical route by the animal owner. On 07-Jul-2024, the horse did not want to be ridden or loaded (abnormal behaviour), and developed circling and hind limb ataxia. The horse was administered up to 40 milliliters of diphenhydramine via the oral route by the animal owner. An unspecified amount of time later, the horse's condition declined. The horse was loaded into a trailer and brought to the veterinarian. During transit, the horse collapsed and lost control of his muscles. At the veterinary facility, the horse was administered an unknown sedative and an unknown injection. Unspecified testing was performed along with a fecal test, which reportedly ruled out colic and West Nile virus. The owner then elected to have the horse humanely euthanized. It was unknown if a necropsy was performed. No further information is expected.
Majeure
Assessment: Permethrin is considered to have a wide margin of safety in horses following topical application. Dermal sensitivity reactions may occur. The active ingredient is poorly absorbed across intact skin and not anticipated to cause the systemic neurological and musculoskeletal effects described in this case. Other causes including infectious diseases, toxin exposure, and underlying systemic conditions must also be considered. Without a necropsy, the cause of death remains unknown and the relationship to product use is inconclusive.
