People don’t always connect the dots at the time of exposure. In Fremont, common scenarios include:
- Residential and HOA/contracted lawn care: herbicide use in yards, along driveways, sidewalks, or common areas.
- Seasonal weed control routines: repeated applications across summers and early fall.
- Agriculture and grounds work: landscaping, farm-related work, groundskeeping, and facility maintenance.
- Take-home exposure: residue on gloves, boots, jackets, or work pants after spraying or mowing treated areas.
- Nearby spray drift or shared equipment: exposure tied to equipment used across properties or adjacent land.
The practical point: your case often turns on how exposure happened in the real world, not just the fact that herbicides were present.
