Paraquat is what you call a non-selective herbicide, which simply means that it kills all plants it comes into contact with. It is therefore great for preparing fields and farms for the mass growing of crops as you won’t have to manually remove all the weeds, a laborious and expensive task in and of itself. It is estimated that the use of Paraquat has grown by over 200 percent in just the last decade alone, especially in large states such as Texas and California. The disturbing fact about Paraquat, however, is that it has been banned in multiple countries in the world due to its toxicity to humans and its health-damaging effects. Recently, research was published showing that Paraquat has the potential to cause the development of an irreversible motor neuron disease called Parkinson’s disease, which was once thought to be caused by genetics. Parkinson’s disease has no cure, and it affects vital biological systems such as memory and movement, with patients needing round-the-clock care once the disease has progressed to a certain stage. If you or a loved one developed Parkinson’s disease due to exposure to Paraquat on account of working on a farm, we’d love to help you get compensated.
