Many Holmen residents encounter glyphosate through everyday routines rather than “workplace hazards.” Common scenarios include:
- DIY yard treatment: mixing concentrates, spraying on windy days, or using equipment that doesn’t prevent drift.
- Mowing or trimming after application: handling grass or weeds that were treated recently.
- Secondhand exposure: washing work clothes or gloves from a family member who applied weed killer.
- Property-adjacent spraying: living near land that’s treated seasonally for weeds or brush.
- Seasonal landscaping and grounds care: hiring contractors who apply herbicides and leave residue on tools, walkways, or equipment.
A strong case usually starts with connecting your illness to the most likely exposure pathway—then backing that pathway with records, product details, and medical documentation.
