In and around Greendale, exposure doesn’t always look like a farm-worker scenario. Many cases begin with everyday contact patterns such as:
- Yard and driveway weed control: repeated applications on lawns, gardens, and hardscapes (where spray drift or residue may linger)
- Landscaping and groundskeeping: seasonal work that includes applying herbicides or mowing/handling treated vegetation
- Secondhand exposure at home: residue carried on boots, gloves, or work clothing after outdoor work
- Neighbor overspray: treating lawns near shared boundaries, sidewalks, or common paths
- Community-maintenance routines: herbicide use by contractors maintaining properties or shared landscaping areas
What matters legally is not just that a weed killer was used—it’s what product was used, when it was used, how exposure occurred, and how the illness fits the medical picture.
