Many Katy residents encounter glyphosate through day-to-day environments rather than a single workplace incident. Common local scenarios include:
- Residential lawn and garden treatments by homeowners, contractors, or property-management staff
- Landscaping and groundskeeping for shopping centers, office parks, and HOAs
- Property-adjacent exposure after spraying on nearby lots, detention areas, or greenbelts
- Secondhand contact—for example, residue brought home on work boots, tools, or clothing from a family member in maintenance or construction-related roles
Because exposure in suburban communities is often spread across multiple properties and time periods, the strongest cases usually depend on assembling a clear timeline—what was applied, where, and when it may have overlapped with medical changes.
