Fort Myers is a hub for tourism, construction, and seasonal rentals, so toxic exposure issues often show up in patterns we see repeatedly—especially when people are exposed in enclosed spaces, during renovations, or after water intrusion.
Common local triggers include:
- Mold and moisture problems in condos, rental homes, and apartments (often tied to humidity and water damage)
- Construction and remodeling exposures involving drywall dust, solvents, adhesives, insulation materials, or poorly ventilated work
- Pesticide and chemical exposure from landscaping services, pest control, or improper storage/handling
- Storm cleanup and remediation after flooding or hurricane season, when materials may be moved without proper containment
- Workplace chemical exposure in trades and industrial settings where PPE and ventilation may not match the hazard
A strong case depends on documenting what substance was present, where it was, how you were exposed, and how soon symptoms followed—not just that you “felt sick.”
