In Passaic and surrounding areas, exposure histories often don’t come from a single, obvious event. They may involve:
- Residential property maintenance (spraying along walkways, driveways, or garden edges)
- Shared or adjacent spaces in dense neighborhoods where application happens near shared landscaping
- Worksite exposure for maintenance crews, landscaping teams, exterminators, and contractors
- Secondhand contact from household members or coworkers who handled products
Because this can span homes, jobs, and timelines, records may be incomplete—especially if product bottles were discarded years ago. That’s why your early organization strategy matters just as much as medical care.
