Paraquat and Parkinson's Disease Connection
Research has associated exposure to the herbicide paraquat with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. Agricultural workers, farmers, and those living near treated areas may be at increased risk.
Understanding Paraquat Exposure Risks
What is Paraquat?
A highly toxic herbicide used to kill weeds and grasses, banned in many countries but still used in the United States.
Parkinson's Disease Risk
Studies show people exposed to Paraquat have a 150% increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
Multiple Exposure Routes
Exposure can occur through inhalation, skin contact, or contaminated water and food sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions for agricultural and bystander exposure
I did not apply paraquat myself. Can I still have a claim?
+Bystander and residential drift exposures are part of how these cases are evaluated. Location and timing still have to be shown.
What documents help?
+Employer records, farm logs, purchase records, and a neurologist’s Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Is this the same as a Roundup case?
+No. Different chemical, different disease, different docket. Some people have exposure to more than one herbicide; that should be disclosed in a review.
