In a community like Morganton, exposure concerns often arise in very practical ways:
- Property maintenance and yard work: repeated use of weed killers on driveways, fence lines, and yard edges.
- Landscaping, groundskeeping, and farm-related work: herbicide application as part of routine seasonal duties.
- Secondhand exposure: residue carried on work boots, gloves, or work uniforms brought home after a shift.
- Nearby spraying: living close to properties where herbicides are applied during peak growing seasons.
When a diagnosis occurs, many people go back through years of recollection and realize they may have overlooked a pattern. That’s common. What matters is turning that pattern into an evidence-based timeline you can share with counsel.
