In Wellington, many potential exposures come from everyday routines:
- Yard and property maintenance: mowing, trimming, or treating weeds on residential lots after herbicides were applied.
- Landscaping and grounds work: working for contractors or maintaining common areas where vegetation is managed seasonally.
- Family “take-home” exposure: residue carried on work clothes, gloves, boots, or tools used at home.
- Exposure near treated areas: time spent outdoors in communities where spraying or vegetation control occurs in surrounding properties.
While everyone’s story is different, claims usually hinge on one theme: linking the timing and circumstances of exposure to the medical condition your doctors are treating.
