In suburban communities like New Berlin, herbicide exposure can happen in ways people don’t always recognize at first:
- Yard and landscaping routines: homeowners or contractors may apply weed control products during peak growing seasons.
- Shared property boundaries: exposure can occur when spraying happens near fences, pathways, or neighboring lots.
- Residue brought indoors: clothing, shoes, gloves, and tools used outdoors can carry residue into garages and homes.
- Work-related exposure: people in groundskeeping, maintenance, and outdoor services may encounter herbicides as part of routine duties.
When a serious illness is diagnosed, it’s common to feel like you’re trying to connect dots with incomplete information. The legal part of the process can be just as overwhelming as the medical part—especially when you’re also dealing with treatment, time off work, and follow-up appointments.
