Suburban routines can create repeated, hard-to-track exposure. In Lake Oswego, that often looks like:
- Residential yard care and landscaping: applying weed killers to driveways, garden beds, slopes, and fence lines.
- Property management and common areas: herbicide use on shared landscaping, sidewalks, and landscaped medians.
- Secondhand exposure: handling treated vegetation, mowing soon after application, or carrying residue home on work boots and clothing.
- Seasonal maintenance: spring and summer schedules that make it easy to forget exactly what product was used, when, and where.
Many people first connect the dots after a diagnosis—then realize they may not have kept product labels, purchase records, or photos. That’s why early case review is so important.
