In and around Santa Fe, glyphosate-related concerns commonly arise from everyday contact rather than a single “incident.” Residents may have exposure through:
- Landscaping and property maintenance: yard spraying, weed control around homes, and routine vegetation management.
- Work environments: groundskeeping, facility maintenance, and outdoor labor where herbicides may be applied as part of seasonal upkeep.
- Secondhand contact: residue on clothing, boots, tools, or work gear brought home after employment.
- Timing tied to local routines: spring and summer weed-control schedules, snowmelt landscaping cleanups, and weekend maintenance habits.
- Neighbor or nearby application: time spent outdoors or walking near areas where herbicides were recently used.
Because these patterns can be spread out over months or years, the strongest cases usually rely on a clear timeline—when exposure happened, how it happened, and when symptoms began.
