In a dense, walkable South Florida community, exposure stories tend to have a familiar pattern:
- Yard and landscaping services applying weed control at homes, condos, and small commercial properties.
- Secondhand contact when treated areas are mowed or maintained shortly after spraying.
- Residue on clothing, tools, or equipment brought indoors by a worker or homeowner.
- Ongoing neighborhood exposure—not a one-time event—because outdoor treatments may recur across seasons.
Tourists and visitors are also part of the picture. Seasonal foot traffic, outdoor events, and property turnover can make it harder to remember where and when exposure happened—so preserving the details quickly matters.
