Paraquat is a widely used herbicide primarily used to control weeds and grasses in agricultural settings. It is highly toxic and poses significant health risks to humans and animals if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Due to its toxicity, paraquat is classified as a restricted-use pesticide and is only available for use by certified applicators.

The Latest Developments
Recent studies and lawsuits have highlighted the potential health risks associated with paraquat exposure, including an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. Research suggests that long-term exposure to paraquat may damage nerve cells in the brain, leading to the development of Parkinson’s-like symptoms.
As awareness of these potential risks grows, individuals who have been exposed to paraquat and subsequently developed Parkinson’s disease or other health issues are exploring legal options to seek compensation for their injuries.
