Hi
Welcome to just answer
Can you please elaborate your question
Thanks for the information
Well tetramethrin can cause muscle twitching but that is when you accidentaly ingest the posion... Topical exposure of Tetramethrin for a few minutes should not be the cause of muscle wekness and twitching that you are currently experiencing
Topical exposure just causes skin irritation and redness that you deny to have had experienced
No as long as you clearly washed it and prevented further exposure that shouldn't be the cause to your symptoms
For such symptoms to occur there should be history of more prolonged exposure
Anyways I would suggest you see a neurologist for further help in this regard
You may require a Nerve conduction studies to reach to an underlying diagnosis which is surely not the Tetramethrin exposure that you are co relating
Please follow up with your neurologist and get your nerve conduction studies done
Thank you
You are wlecome
Take care
