In and around Los Banos, herbicide exposure often comes from familiar, everyday activities:
- Property and yard maintenance near homes and schools, including repeated seasonal spraying
- Agricultural and grounds work (including contractors and seasonal labor)
- Drift and residue concerns when spraying occurs near residential areas
- Secondhand exposure, such as contaminated work clothing brought into the home
After a diagnosis, families frequently ask the same practical questions: Was my exposure the kind that matters legally? Do I have enough documentation? And what do I do first so I don’t miss key deadlines under California law?
