In Wenatchee and nearby communities, exposure can happen in more than one way:
- Homeowners and HOAs treating yards, driveways, and landscaping areas during peak growing seasons
- Seasonal and agricultural work where herbicides are used around orchards and field edges
- Property maintenance near commuting routes—spraying or re-spraying along easements, walkways, and roadside buffers
- Family take-home exposure, where clothing or equipment brought home from work becomes the link
The practical problem is that many people can describe symptoms but can’t easily reconstruct what product was used, when, and where. That’s where fast, careful evidence organization matters—because in Washington, delays can make it harder to gather proof.
