On Hilton Head Island, many people’s herbicide exposure history is tied to private residential properties, short-term rentals, golf courses, and commercial landscaping. Claims frequently begin when someone recalls:
- Regular use of weed killer during spring and summer maintenance
- Mowing or cleanup soon after treatment
- Work on groundskeeping, landscaping, or property maintenance crews
- Contact with residue on work gloves, boots, or outdoor equipment
- Exposure that seemed “routine” until a diagnosis prompted a second look at past product use
Because exposure can be dispersed across different properties and seasons, the strongest cases usually line up a credible timeline—what product was used (or likely used), when exposure occurred, and how it connects to medical findings.
