Residents typically come to us with exposure histories that reflect local routines—yards, shared common areas, and frequent contact with treated vegetation.
Common Montebello situations include:
- Property and landscaping work: Homeowners, renters, or contractors who apply weed control in driveways, lawns, or commercial landscaping areas.
- Groundskeeping near schools and parks: People who spend time around maintained outdoor spaces where herbicide applications may occur on a schedule.
- Secondhand exposure: Family members or roommates exposed through clothing, gloves, boots, or tools brought home after a job.
- Residential proximity to treated areas: Neighbors affected by overspray, drift, or residue tracked onto sidewalks and entryways.
The key is not just whether glyphosate was mentioned at some point—it’s whether the evidence supports how, when, and where exposure happened in your life and how your illness developed afterward.
