People often reach out after one of these scenarios:
- Yard and property maintenance: Regular weed control, repeated application, or mowing/handling treated vegetation soon after spraying.
- Landscaping and grounds work: Workers who apply herbicides—or clean up afterward—may be exposed through residue on gloves, boots, and clothing.
- Neighbor or nearby spraying: Drift from adjacent properties can lead to exposure even when you didn’t apply the product yourself.
- Family “take-home” exposure: Residue carried home on work gear can affect household members.
In New Mexico, claims are evaluated based on evidence and timing. That means your job history, product details, and diagnosis date can matter as much as the illness itself.
