In Florissant and surrounding St. Louis County areas, many residents come into contact with weed control products in everyday ways:
- Property and landscaping maintenance: Homeowners, renters, and contractors may apply herbicides to driveways, fence lines, and grass edges.
- Apartment and neighborhood common areas: Shared walkways and green spaces often get treated on a schedule.
- Secondhand exposure: Residue can transfer through lawn equipment, boots, work gloves, or clothing brought into the home.
- Time-and-weather effects: Hot stretches, mowing soon after application, or heavy rain events can change how long residue remains on surfaces and in yards.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness and you suspect a link to glyphosate exposure, it’s important to address the issue early—while records and memories are still available.
