People exposed to paraquat as a teen or young adult have a 200% to 600% higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease
The likelihood of developing Parkinson’s disease as a consequence of paraquat exposure depends on how long the person was exposed to the herbicide. Nevertheless, short-term exposure will not cause the disorder, as it usually takes several years of contact with paraquat for someone to develop Parkinson’s disease. Their chances of coming to struggle with the disorder also depend on the amount of paraquat they were exposed to, how often they worked with the herbicide, whether they wore protective equipment when applying paraquat, and whether they lived near crops on which the herbicide was sprayed.
All of these factors increase their susceptibility to developing Parkinson’s disease. If they have been exposed to paraquat since they were a teenager or young adult, the risk of coming to struggle with the disorder increases substantially, as paraquat is neurotoxic and their brain is still developing. In this case, exposure to the herbicide will take a much heavier toll on their brain than if they were adults when they were first exposed. If you have Parkinson’s disease and worked with paraquat, we encourage you to contact our attorneys, as they specialize in toxic exposure, and you might be entitled to compensation.
